And it is beginning to look as though we are going to get a stupid, spineless and cowardly outcome from it too, unless real people - you and me - step in and help. I know there's not much hope of influencing world leaders, but it must be worth a try.

| A trillion dollars in tax subsidy to anti-green energy |
Until recently, not many of us were aware that fossil fuels get FAR greater subsidies than other greener energy sources. People criticise subsidies to green energy in absolute ignorance of the real situation. Finally it is becoming clear that some of those people are shills for the oil companies.
Now it should have become clear to the rest of the population (if they were listening) that the oil companies and their cronies get a trillion dollars per year in tax subsidies. That's quite a lot isn't it? It is time to make a change.
A spineless agreement from Rio is worse than no agreement at all.

Abolish the subsidies!
