If you live in a coastal zone and have looked at maps of future sea level rise or have read about how climate change could be slowed with policy changes to reduce emissions, youve likely seen these scenarios in action. SSP5: Taking the highway A scenario driven by economic growth and high fossil fuel use, leading to rapid warming.

Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible. Sea levels will continue to rise throughout the 21st century, contributing to more frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-lying areas along coasts around the world.

It puts the wildlife and communities that depend on the ocean at risk through impacts like ocean acidification, sea level rise and temperature changes. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, fossil fuel production accounts for 35% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

For example, researchers at the Union of Concerned Scientists have directly linked fossil fuel producers’ Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions to increases in ocean acidification , global temperature, sea level rise and North American wildfires. So how does the fossil fuel industry think it should measure emissions?

Fossil fuel : Any mineralized formerly organic material extracted from the ground and used in energy production: coal, natural gas, oil. Mineral resource sustainability : Minerals are precious metals, sold and liquid fossil fuels such as oil and coal, are resources that require licensing and protection for proper management.
