For current global subsidies, I was using the IMF numbers, which are <br>
also supported by Carbon Tracker and were reported in The Guardian in <br>
2017 <br>
<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/aug/07/fossil-fuel-subsidies-are-a-staggering-5-tn-per-year">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/aug/07/fossil-fuel-subsidies-are-a-staggering-5-tn-per-year</a><br>
<br>
The reported number was $4.9 tn in 2013 and that rose to $5.3 tn in <br>
2015. Taking that forward to 2019 (subsidies have accelerated, not <br>
slowed, but I used a constant) I got $6.9 trillion. On the webinar I <br>
rounded that to $7 tn.<br>
<br>
Global emissions were 37.1 gigatonnes CO2 in 2018. <br>
<a href="https://www.wri.org/blog/2018/12/new-global-co2-emissions-numbers-are-they-re-not-good">https://www.wri.org/blog/2018/12/new-global-co2-emissions-numbers-are-they-re-not-good</a><br>
<br>
Divide 6.9 e12 by 37.1 e9 and you get $185.98 per ton. I used $150 just <br>
to be conservative because if you use the validated 2015 number it would <br>
be $142.85. This is what taxpayers pay emitters to make and release CO2.<br>
<br>
I believe that emissions are understated because I believe fugitive <br>
emissions are poorly accounted for. One could also make the case for <br>
elevated permafrost and deforestation additions being anthropogenic. So <br>
the calculation is still a bit squirrely, but it is in the ballpark.<br>
