Good. Why do we subsidize companies that gouge us while reporting record profits? Had they done this 20 years ago maybe the country wouldn’t be on fire.

Had the o&g companies published their 1970’s findings that their continued existence meant the end of ours, maybe the whole planet wouldn’t be, either.

I hate the word “soon”.

We’ve been saying “soon” for decades. Just rip the bandaid off & fscking do it!

Incrementalism will literally be the death of us - by wild fire or drowning.

Wait what do you mean?

Its only all the qualified experts and scientists (AKA nerds) who think that climate change will end us all.

My uncle and some oil/gas execs say otherwise 🤔

The Federal Minister making the announcement in the article specifically talks about other ways oil and gas can access other subsidies. It’s just not oil & gas specific subsidies.
