Leaving unextractable fossil fuels in the ground is widely recognized in climate literature as a fundamental prerequisite for meeting international climate targets and preventing catastrophic global warming.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the premise that keeping a significant portion of fossil fuel reserves unburned or unextracted is necessary to achieve global climate stabilization targets under international agreements like the Paris Agreement. Papers [0], [1], [2], [5], and [11] explicitly quantify or affirm that major shares of fossil fuel resources must remain in the ground to avoid severe global warming, satisfying the claim directly.
