The article looks at the possibility that markets are overlooking the risk of unburnable carbon, or the parts of fossil fuel companies' reserves that must stay in the the ground. Topics include the amount of carbon that can be burned without causing more than two degrees of global warming, the increasing share of total energy output from state-owned energy companies, and the possibility that the European Union's emissions trading system might collapse.
