Supporting new coal development greatly undermines President Obama's much - touted climate legacy, including his commitment under the Climate Action Plan to restrict financing coal plants overseas and the recent formal U.S. commitment to the Paris agreement, which aspires to limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius and thus rules out any question of U.S. investment in coal.

In Oregon, for example, Governor Kate Brown signed a bill that will move the state to 50 percent renewable energy production by 2040 and end the state's use of coal power by 2030; in Montana, sagging demand and economic pressures caused Arch Coal to scrap its plans for a massive strip - mining operation on federal land; and in a recent Gallup poll, 64 percent of Americans said they worried a «great deal» or «fair amount» about global warming, up from 55 percent only a year coal power by 2030; in Montana, sagging demand and economic pressures caused Arch Coal to scrap its plans for a massive strip - mining operation on federal land; and in a recent Gallup poll, 64 percent of Americans said they worried a «great deal» or «fair amount» about global warming, up from 55 percent only a year Coal to scrap its plans for a massive strip - mining operation on federal land; and in a recent Gallup poll, 64 percent of Americans said they worried a «great deal» or «fair amount» about global warming, up from 55 percent only a year ago.

A few noted skepticism of climate science, saying carbon dioxide is «part of the cycle of life,» but for many opponents of the Clean Power Plan, the argument wasn't whether climate change was real but whether the plan's target on reducing emissions from coal power would effectively slow global warmPlan, the argument wasn't whether climate change was real but whether the plan's target on reducing emissions from coal power would effectively slow global warmplan's target on reducing emissions from coal power would effectively slow global warming.

WASHINGTON — Coal - fired power plants are the largest source of heat - trapping gases that cause global warming, but President Obama's plan to fight climate change would result in the nation burning more coal a decade from now than it does toCoal - fired power plants are the largest source of heat - trapping gases that cause global warming, but President Obama's plan to fight climate change would result in the nation burning more coal a decade from now than it does tocoal a decade from now than it does today.

If China completes all of the coal - fired projects that are currently in the works or in the planning stage, the country would blow through its carbon budget for limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius by 2036, the group added.

If plans to build more than 1000 coal power stations are realised, the greenhouse gases released from these plants will put us on track for a five degree celsius rise in global temperatures, a fate likened to planetary collapse.
