- vkou 8y agoOpening new coal mines may be uncompetitive. Nobody's stopping work in existing ones. It does not amount to the same thing. To avoid catastrophic warming, we need to stop all development of new fossil fuel resources, and stop exploitation of some active fossil fuel resources. We're not doing that. We're not even close to doing that.
