Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
The reason for a lot of these subsidies is the dependence of other economies on oil. We need more open source solar and nuclear tech to make the planet resilient, then we can throw oil out of the window.

Don't do that that's pollution, do you want Captain Planet to take you down to zero?
This is not how subsidies work. Subsidies just artigically lower the price for something, while increasing the price for other things(you need money to pay the subsidies). So with the economy dependent on oil, cutting subidies would just increase oil prices, while lowering the price for alternatives.
We need to cut subsidies and deploy the alternatives quickly enough. We have most of the tech and for the most part supply chaines to make it work.
Very well articulated!
