Study: Existing oil, gas, and coal extraction sites need to be closed down to stay within 1.5C, findings show
Ceasing new oil, gas, and coal development is not enough – already built extraction facilities must be prematurely decommissioned – warns a new study released today in Environmental Research Letters. The study finds that, in the absence of large-scale carbon capture or removal, nearly 40% of developed fossil fuel reserves need to stay in the […]
