Help end Trillion dollar subsidies to Big Oil

[Halcyon Daze]

This one's running hot!

""This weekend, the eight most powerful leaders in the world will meet at the G8 summit and could agree to a plan that could literally stop climate change!

It’s crazy, but right now, our governments give nearly $1 trillion a year of our taxpayer money to Big Oil and coal to destroy our planet.""

I was listening to the radio last week about the diesel subsidies Australian mining companies get from the government. It was sickening how much money they receieved because they "created jobs".

It is a cost of doing business and they should wear it. They make enough money as it is using our countries resources for corporate benefit.
