    Coal is by far the dirtiest of the world’s major energy sources. It accounts for almost half of the cumulative global carbon emissions since the industrial era began — as much as oil and natural gas combined. And it generates much more carbon dioxide per unit of energy than either oil or gas. Most climate experts agree that phasing out coal power is the single biggest change the world could make to slow down global warming. For almost twenty years, the United States has whipsawed on the question

    We tend to imagine that experiencing the effects of global warming will wake people up to the problem. The thinking goes that when people see their homes flood or the skies turn orange from wildfire smoke, they may change their views on climate science and even be inspired to act. A number of studies have found such a correlation in the United States and Europe, and our popular narratives confirm it. For instance, Kim Stanley Robinson’s speculative climate novel Ministry for the Future begins wi
