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 Carbon Impacts Tracer can be used to estimate climate impact from emissions across eight metrics, including lost food productionThe biggest coal project before authorities in New South Wales, the HVO mine, will emit the equivalent of about 809m tonnes of climate-warming carbon dioxide if it wins approval. That number, for most people, will carry little meaning, as might the calculation that adding that amount of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere will cause an extra 0.00036C of global heating. But what if the public was instead told that that amount of carbon dioxide would expose almost half
