Not at all. The real fun is that you are paying the "IMF social cost of carbon" that you hate so much, and will do so for the rest of your life most likely.I haven't gotten around to this ExxonMobil study, will do one of these days.
But you do see that fossil fuels are heavily subsidised is a BS argument, don't you? If anything it's the RE projects that are heavily subsidised with real public money, locked in power purchase prices to make them profitable, tax concessions, grid costs ignored etc - any or all of these depending on which country you are in.
Your reactions seem to be getting closer to hysteria one step at a time, which is actually fun to watch
This truly reminds me of a poster (I think he got a lifetime ban) who used to complain about power cuts in Bengaluru every summer. The "funny" part was that his BRF postings would get longer and longer with increased intensity of power cuts, i.e. spending more time on internet as the power availability became less.
I posted the IMF study because they did a very thorough job. Indeed, they broke down all the costs including the "global warming" costs, so that other people can calculate the subsidy based upon their perspective. As a result, the subsidy can be said to be anywhere from about $1 trillion/yr to $7 trillion per year. It's valuable work. Coal has the largest global warming cost, which is NOT a surprise at all. Other fuels are progressively better, the global warming costs are not as high. However, there are many other costs as well. The study lays them all out by country. The data is very useful and enlightening.
Your approach is entirely superficial, simply based on disparaging carefully done work according to your own biases. At the same time you have shown no (i.e. zero) expertise or work in any of these areas. Yeah, I bet you'll "get around" to the ExxonMobil study much later, since it won't suit your fake arguments. This is not scientific and not a good example of intelligence....i.e. another good old "fishing expedition".
