UN high commissioner for human rights Mary Robinson: Averting climate change means leaving fossil fuels in ground
'Governments must leave fossil fuel reserves in the ground unburned and unexploited to really protect the planet, a senior diplomat' -- 'Robinson said world governments must get used to the idea of leaving fossil fuels alone so emissions don't threaten the climate in advance of the report to be unveiled Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 'There is a global limit on a safe level of emissions,' Robinson told The Guardian. 'That means major fossil fuel reserves must be left in the ground. That has huge implications for economic and social development.'
