While the Earth grows hotter and the devastation of global climate change becomes everyday news, the IEA is out with new reports that offer a glimmer of hope – after a peak of several more years in coal and other fossil fuel use.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency reported on Friday that global coal consumption is set to reach an all-time high in 2022 amid the war in Ukraine and rising demand in Europe and India, and will likely remain at similar levels for a few years "in the absence of stronger efforts to accelerate the transition to clean energy."
