We shouldn't jump from reflexively opposing fossil fuels to abandoning concerns about their impacts. We need to strike a balance.

For each of the past several years, scientists, analysts and officials have been hoping that it would be the year when emissions from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas would stop going up. They ...

Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise by 1.1% in 2025 – reaching a record high, according to new research by the Global Carbon Project. Decarbonization of energy systems is ...

The use of fossil fuels alters both the concentration and the carbon isotope composition of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since surface water exchanges carbon dioxide with the atmosphere, this ...

It would be one thing if the arguments for expanding fossil fuels were geostrategic or economic. The public could weigh the projects and forecasts against protection of lives, species and livelihoods.

It keeps getting harder to find and extract fossil fuels. Renewable technology lowers costs far faster than technology improves fossil fuel cost due to Wright’s law. People don’t like the negative ...

Climate change is an unprecedented global human rights emergency. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) emits heat-trapping greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are the primary current and ...

SANTA MARTA SUMMIT: Countries attending a first-of-its-kind summit have walked away with plans to develop national “roadmaps” to move away from fossil fuels, along with new tools to address subsidies ...

Researchers have shown that satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide, converted using sector-based emission ratios, can estimate Europe's fossil fuel CO2 emissions and reveal stronger winter ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. A new report traces the life cycle of fossil fuels — from exploration and extraction to combustion and decommissioning — and found stark ...

If negotiators at COP30 in Belém want any chance of lowering temperatures below 1.5°C again, they must run three tracks at once: accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels, lock in a time-bound roadmap ...
