If companies burn all the fossil fuel they have now, it would emit 2,795 gigatons of CO2 – 5X the safe amount. We'll have huge global warming and a catastrophe for life on earth.
Do the math: we can emit 565 more gigatons of CO2 and stay below 2°C of warming — any more risks catastrophe for life on earth. Burning the fossil fuel corps now have in their reserves would emit 2,795 – 5X the safe amount!
