Corporations claim their fossil fuel emissions are a drop in the ocean. But what if we could count the real cost?

A new tool called the Carbon Impacts Tracer is being used to estimate the climate impact of emissions from large projects. This tool calculates the effects of emissions across eight different metrics, including lost food production. The HVO mine in New South Wales is a major coal project that could emit 809 million tonnes of carbon dioxide if it gets approval, causing an extra 0.00036 degrees Celsius of global heating. This new way of framing the issue could help the public better understand the real cost of fossil fuel emissions.
