Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Weigh In On Fossil Fuels

Atomic Scientists propose a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty. Terms of the treaty would end new exploration and development, tamp down existing production to match the 1.5 Celsius target set at Paris in 2015, and fast track clean renewables while compensating economies and workers for the disruption. The transfer of fossil fuel subsidies by governments to the industry would partially fund economic diversification in support of communities impacted by the treaty.
