Fossil fuels lead to CO2 emissions, which lead to global warming. Our government gives large profitable companies fossil fuel tax breaks of €39.7-46.4 billion per year-€2500 per citizen! Fossil subsidies fuel dangerous global warming, which we can’t afford. #StopFossieleSubsidies

We join @extinctionrebellionnl on the #A12 between ministry of EZK & parliament to demand ending fossil subsidies. 35 scientists got arrested. Previous letters, protests & petitions did not end this dangerous policy. We urge the government to speak the truth & stop financing fossil fuels.

Earth has already warmed by 1.2ºC, caused by the extremely high CO2 emissions of the past decades. We see dramatic suffering for humans & for other species across the world. Every 0.1ºC further warming makes this worse. We can stop this. Every delay in action is irresponsible.

Science is clear: to limit global warming to 1.5ºC, we must stop drilling for new fossil fuels. We must abolish fossil subsidies. Our government committed to this in 2015 via the UN (SDG 12.c), and promised to stop these subsidies in 2009, 2021 & 2023. Yet no steps were taken.
