*(press release) Paris Agreement Ratification Means No New Fossil Fuels 
<http://priceofoil.org/2016/10/05/release-paris-agreement-ratification-means-no-new-fossil-fuels/>*

    David Turnbull, Campaigns Director of Oil Change International,
    released the following statement: "The speed with which the Paris
    Agreement will enter into force provides a hopeful signal that world
    leaders are finally waking up to the urgency of the climate crisis.
    But the real test now begins: Will these same world leaders take the
    action necessary to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals? The climate
    science is clear: to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees,
    they must immediately end public support to fossil fuels, end
    expansion of fossil fuel development, and begin a managed decline of
    the fossil fuel industry with a just transition to renewable energy.
    The Paris Agreement defined the size of the hole we're in – it's now
    time for world leaders to put down the shovels and start climbing
    out of it."
