New tool measures damage from specific fossil fuel projects
Scientists have released an open-source climate tool that calculates the warming and damage caused by individual coal, gas, or oil projects.
Attribution science advances rapidly
Governments continue to approve new fossil fuel projects despite worsening climate change. Previously, companies used a defense claiming emissions from single projects were too small to track. Recent progress in attribution science now allows experts to pinpoint the role of climate change in extreme weather events.
Carbon Impacts Tracer launches
The new open-source tool called Carbon Impacts Tracer shows how much a specific project will warm the planet. It quantifies damage across eight areas including crop losses and heat wave deaths in Europe. This technology helps hold fossil fuel companies and approving governments accountable for future harm.
