New Carbon Impacts Tracer measures fossil fuel project damage

Original: We can finally measure the damage each new coal, gas or oil project will do to people and nature Scientists have launche

Scientists have launched the Carbon Impacts Tracer, an open-source tool that quantifies how much harm individual coal, gas and oil projects will cause by warming the planet and affecting lives and nature. Environmental researchers say it allows the damage of each proposed fossil fuel development to be measured and compared directly, a step they describe as a breakthrough for accountability in project approvals and climate policy debates.

Why now: A newly released open-source tool lets the public and policymakers quantify the specific climate and human impacts of individual fossil fuel projects for the first time.
