World's Fossil Fuel Reserves Hold 3.5 Trillion Tons of Potential Greenhouse Gases
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more climate news, a new public database has found the world's fossil
fuel reserves contain enough carbon to exceed limits set by the Paris
climate accord seven times over. The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels
warns that burning the world's remaining supplies of coal, oil and gas
would add 3.5 trillion tons of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere - more
than all of the emissions since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
