Guardian: To prevent the Earth from overheating, countries must leave vast reserves of fossil fuels untouched underground. Thats the conclusion of a new report published this week in the journal Nature. Trillions of dollars of known and extractable coal, oil and gas including deposits in Canada and the Arctic cannot be burned if the global temperature rise is to be kept under the agreed-upon goal of 2C.

It shows that almost all the huge coal reserves in China, Russia and the U.S. should remain unused, along with more than 260 billion barrels of oil reserves in the Middle Eastthe equivalent of Saudi Arabias total oil reserves. The Middle East would also need to leave more than 60 percent of...
