Coal combustion was responsible for over 0.3 degrees C of the 1 degree C surge in global average annual surface temperatures above pre-industrial levels—and that makes coal the single largest source of the global temperature increase, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says in the new report. The finding, outlined in the IEA’s March 26–released Global […]
