Coal and Global Warming: A Study On Coal Trade and Its Effect

Coal is the biggest of all three fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Non-renewable energy sources namely coal, oil, and gas, as their name suggests, cannot be replenished and, ironically, supply more than 80% of world energy. According to a report of the World Bank, coal alone contributed to more than 70% of the whole energy sector’s harmful gases emissions in 2010. Reports suggest that the high power of burned coal to generate electricity indirectly contributes to high CO2 emissions in the environment. It emits more carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuel, even two times more than natural gas. Coal Consumption and Production According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports, China was the only country that

Cocoa War Between Countries Bringing Up Major ESG Concerns

The cocoa industry is one of the most prominent and largest industries in the world. On average, cocoa farmers produce over 4 million tons of cocoa annually.
