What The F*ck are Fossil Fuel Subsidies?

In this mega-episode of Hot Globe, we try everything — snakes eating their own tails, board games, even a creepy finger-sex dramatization — to explain what fossil fuel subsidies are. And now we need to lie down, because it’s almost impossible. And that’s the point: they make no sense! See if you can figure out how these gigantic government pay-outs to fuel producers, supposedly to keep consumer prices lower, are good for anyone but the producers… who say they don’t even exist.

Help keep
the Globe burning! 

Wait, that doesn’t sound right. What we meant was, if you agree that this crisis needs a new way (like, say, Hot Globe?) to break through to new audiences, you can help keep the shows coming with a tax-receiptable donation.
