As India rushes to dig up more coal for power plants running on low stocks, a new report by the International Energy Agency has warned there are major uncertainties for the coal sector. The report strongly calls on nations to decarbonise the energy sector rapidly to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over average temperatures about 150 years ago, or else there will be an increased risk of catastrophes, such as frequent heatwaves, cyclones, rising sea levels and so on.

The energy body IEA's warning comes on a day coal minister Pralhad Joshi visited India's largest open cast coal mine to "motivate" the staff to increase coal output.
On Tuesday, Mr Joshi said, "The entire world and India are debating 'what is the future of coal.' A dip in coal stocks in India led to such a heated debate."
