Summary

Story summary

Australian researchers launched the Carbon Impacts Tracer, a tool estimating fossil-fuel project impacts using a Canadian test case.
The tracer estimates Bay du Nord will emit 188 Mt CO2 over 20 years, raising temperature by 0.00008 °C.
It predicts 111,000 Europeans could face unprecedented heat, 25 extra deaths, 4.6 km² glacier loss, and 0.025 mm sea-level rise.
Researchers say the tracer links emissions to coral loss, reduced food production, and could aid climate litigation.
