The serious impacts and dangers of human-caused global warming and climate change require national and global policies that limit atmospheric emissions of carbon pollution and other greenhouse gases. The Appalachian region contains, produces, and uses a great deal of the highest carbon-emitting fuel, coal; as well as lesser-emitting natural gas. How can the region best deal with the challenges and opportunities posed by global warming and climate change?
