There is not really much of a fossil fuel subsidy, unless you are counting costs of climate change.

Not true.

Around $5T a year globally, $600B just US, some direct and some indirect.

If you actually read that report you would see they include environmental costs from climate change and things like road usage and congestion.

Sure, we shouldn't subsidize big trucks on highways - but it's deceptive to call that a fossil fuel subsidy.
