The registry, cited by Reuters, contains data from more than 50,000 oil, gas and coal deposits in 89 countries, representing 75% of world reserves, production and emissions.
The authors indicated that the potential volume of emissions exceeds several times the capacity of carbon that can be emitted before the Earth reaches a certain point of warming. For specialists, this mark is 1.5 degrees Celsius as established in the Paris Agreement, collects AP.
“The production and combustion of world reserves will produce more than 3.5 trillion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, that is, more than 7 times more than the volume of carbon expected for[un aumento de las temperaturas de] 1.5 ºC and all[las emisiones] produced since the Industrial Revolution,” the analysis indicated. In this context, it was specified that, by themselves, the fossil fuel reserves belonging to the US. and Russia will exceed the established volume of carbon dioxide.
