In fact, with 30.5 billion barrels of untapped crude, our proven oil reserves are higher than they have been since the 1970s. But if that oil doesn`t stay in the ground, along with most U.S. gas and coal reserves, then the planet and all of its inhabitants are in trouble. A new report from the Sierra Club takes a look at what will happen to the climate if we burn through four of our biggest fossil fuel reserves - and it...
