King coal under siege

Coal is widely recognised as a major climate change culprit that is contributing to rising global temperatures and sea levels, and more frequent and more fierce storms and bushfires.

The industry’s economic credentials are looking weaker, too, after an analysis released by the British Government in October concluded that the economic cost of ignoring climate change was far greater than the cost of cutting greenhouse emissions.

Pressure is being applied to the industry from new and unlikely sources.
