Fossil fuel subsidies amount to hundreds of billions of dollars worldwide, and removing them has been held up as a key answer to climate change mitigation. That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal. The reason for this small overall effect is two-fold.
