This is not the countries where we're talking about climate change.

This is poor countries.

This is Saudi Arabia.

It's China.

It's Indonesia.

It's Russia.

It's places where you're basically paying off your population, just like that you subsidize bread.

You make sure that they don't rebel by making cheap fuels available.

They're mostly doing this for things that have nothing to do with climate.

So I totally agree we should get rid of it.
