Curbing Coal Emissions Alone Might Avert Climate Danger, Say Researchers

An ongoing rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels might be kept below harmful levels if emissions from coal are phased out within the next few decades, say researchers. They say that less plentiful oil and gas should be used sparingly as well, but that far greater supplies of coal mean that it must be the main target of reductions.

Push for carbon disclosure on emissions

In what could be a sign of things to come worldwide, green pressure groups in Britain are now pushing for a change in the listing rules which would require companies floating on the London Stock Exchange to disclose their carbon emissions. The demands come in the lead up to the release of a report, written by a former World Bank chief economist and commissioned by the British Government, warning that climate change could tip the world into the worst recession in recent history.
