The decision to ditch coal was the biggest single action of its time to cut carbon emissions in North America. But what you probably haven’t heard is that our grid is getting dirtier again, with fossil fuels increasing in our electricity supply from burning natural gas.

Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. But as diplomats meet in Glasgow starting on October 31, with plans to keep the planet from dangerously overheating, water experts say they need to keep more than carbon in mind. It is already 1.1 degrees higher.
