Stop using our taxes to fund global heating.
In May 2019 the IMF found that the fossil fuel industry received $5.2 trillion in subsidies in 2017. The UK is the EU's leader in giving subsidies to fossil fuels, giving €12bn (£10.5bn) a year in support for fossil fuels. Our taxes should not be funding the destruction of life on our planet.
In May 2019 the IMF found that the fossil fuel industry received a massive $5.2 trillion in subsidies in 2017. This amounts to 6.4 percent of the global GDP. In the EU the UK is the leader in giving subsidies to fossil fuels, according the European commission. It found €12bn (£10.5bn) a year in support for fossil fuels in the UK, significantly more than the €8.3bn spent on renewable energy.
This isn't good enough and our taxes should not be used to fund the destruction of life on our planet.
