Given that fossil fuel reserves already exceed the global carbon budget, it seems reasonable to start assuming not all of them will be burnt.»

London, 19th April 2013 — Today new research by Carbon Tracker Initiative and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science reveals that despite fossil fuel reserves already far exceeding the carbon budget to avoid global warming of more than 2 °C, $ 674 billion was spent last year finding and developing new potentially stranded assets.

As it becomes increasingly clear that we can't even burn all of the existing fossil fuels reserves we already have, financial experts are sounding alarm bells about companies sinking vast amounts of money into exploration and recovery of fuels that will eventually become worthless.

To date, we have added about 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 from fossil fuel use (this is my recollection from papers by Meinshausen and others), and so by my very rough calculations, coal alone would permit us to contribute much more to atmospheric CO2 than we have already done, with a warming effect substantially greater than what we have already observed — and that is without counting oil and gas reserves.

It does so by going beyond the now classic Carbon Tracker analysis (the foundation of McKibben's 2012 article), updating it by focusing not on the entire body of fossil - fuel reserves, but on the smaller set (roughly 30 % of the «proven» reserves) of reserves that have already been «developed» — the «oil fields, gas fields, and coal mines that are already in operation or under construction.»
