New method can measure damage from each fossil fuel project
Original: We can finally measure the damage each new coal, gas or oil project will do to people and nature
Scientists say they can now quantify the harm that each new coal, gas or oil project would cause to people and nature, marking a shift from broad estimates to project-by-project measurement of climate and health impacts. The development could sharpen scrutiny of proposed fossil fuel expansions and give regulators, communities and courts a clearer way to weigh the costs of new extraction against climate targets and environmental protection.
Why now: A new scientific method for calculating project-specific fossil fuel damage is relevant amid ongoing debates over approving new coal, oil and gas developments.
