For 2 marks

Answer 1

The Worldwide Fund for Nature has called on governments to introduce legislation that puts a stop to the construction of new coal plants,stating that coal consumption needed to be phased out completely by 2050, or earlier.The international nongovernmental organisation pointed out at the South African International Renewable Energy Conference, in Cape Town, on Tuesday, that coal consumption would have to drop substantially to be in line with the International Energy Agency’s 450 Scenario.

The Scenario set out an energy pathway with the goal of limiting the global increase in temperature to 2 º C.

The WWF, which had, along with Greenpeace, set a target for the use of 100% renewable electricity by 2050, added that governments should also not allow coal mining to take place while renewable energy needed to be fast-tracked. ” There is no doubt, the train for renewable s is on the move and accelerating, while the cost of buying a ticket is continuously being reduced,”said the WWF’s Global Climate and Energy Initiative’s director of global energy policy, Stephan Singer.

” Coal has the highest carbon intensity of any fossil fuel when combusted and is, arguably, the single-biggest threat to the global climate system.” Singer emphasized that coal was no longer economically viable. ” Investor confidence in coal is shrinking. Coal isn’t credible anymore and renewable’s also create three to four more jobs a (kilowatt) than coal.” He also added that coal was extremely costly to society.
