===================================

 “The effects of climate change will be ‘severe, pervasive and irreversible’ within the next few decades if countries burn more than just one-quarter of the fossil fuel reserves already found, according to a major new U.N. draft report”

“It warns that companies and governments have ‘identified reserves of these [fossil] fuels at least four times larger than could safely be burned if global warming is to be kept to a tolerable level.’ In short, 75 percent of the fossil fuels must remain in the ground to forestall devastating impacts.“

===================================

“I believe humanity is making risky bets in the climate casino. ….  But it is always possible that humanity will wake up .... If that happened, fossil fuel reserves would indeed be stranded. Investors beware: the risk of that cannot be zero.”

Martin Wolf. A climate fix would ruin investors.
