The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that no new fossil fuel boilers should be sold from 2025 if the world is to achieve net-zero emissions by the middle of this century.
It's one of 400 steps on the road to net-zero proposed by the agency in a special report.
The sale of new petrol and diesel cars around the world would end by 2035.
The IEA says that from now, there is no place for new coal, oil or gas exploration or supplies.
The report has been welcomed as an important contribution on the road to COP26 in Glasgow, when countries will attempt to agree the measures needed to put the Paris climate agreement into practice.
In that context, tackling the issue of how the world produces and consumes energy is the most critical endeavour.
The energy sector, according to the IEA, is the source of around 75% of the emissions of greenhouse gases that are driving up global temperatures.

It’ll be doubly bad when they realize their prognostications are WAY off and a global cooldown starts. People will be freezing to death, because warming.
Eff that. They can go to hell and find out what climate change is really about.
Installing a wood stove is sounding like a better and better idea.
The IEA did not get any votes in the last election.
Well, we’ve already got a BS president, so I suppose it’s only fitting we move to a dung-based energy policy.
I don’t think the left actually knows how electricity is produced. They look at a windmill, some solar panels and think that should do the trick. Don’t think they know what material, mining techniques or level of effort goes into creating solar panels and windmills.
Wood stoves are banned in several places, states and countries.................
These marxist fanatics are more and more dangerous every day.
Never mind that gas boilers are more efficient than a gas furnace.
Better buy it soon. They’ll be banned before you know it.
How about “climate hang”, where the commies who make such ridiculous statements about climate in public are magically transformed into “good commies”.
Heck, I’m in the clear; way ahead of them. I’ve never boiled gas in my life and don’t intend to start anytime soon!
Fine, if they want to give be a new LP Boiler I'll take it.
What happened to freedom?
“The IEA did not get any votes in the last election.”
And this matters in what way?
LP is also considered fossil fuel.
The future is STUPID.
I used to install underground storage tanks for fuel; big ass fiberglass beasts. Democrats want to kill that.
10 years from now, I may just dig them up and...I don’t know if I want to go back into that industry. The regulations beat us half to death in the obam era.
Yes, I believe that is true. So if they aren't selling new burners, then perhaps they will be giving them away, and I'll take one.
