How about starting with the massive subsidies paid out to support the fossil fuels?
See below. Currently four times the subsidies being received by renewable energy.
It's a joke.
2. Fossil fuel subsidies
"New Zealand PM John Key presented a message to the forum from nearly 40 nations calling for the removal of fossil fuel subsidies. All G20 countries continue to subsidise fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) collectively spending an estimated US$ 452 billion annually, four times the subsidies received by renewable energy.
Absurdly, many countries are currently implementing policies to tackle climate change whilst providing public subsidies for fossil fuels at the same time. Australia is included in this group – subsidising fossil fuels by $4 billion a year."
