Yes I have and here's the last paragraph of the paper:
Quote:
If North American and international policymakers wish to limit global warming
to less than 2#°C they will clearly need to put in place measures that ensure a rapid
transition of global energy systems to non-greenhouse-gas-emitting sources, while
avoiding commitments to new infrastructure supporting dependence on fossil fuels.

This means that no extension of additional fossil fuel development should be built irregardless of the global warming potential. This means development of oil sands and pipelines to deliver them. The paper basically rings the alarm that while attention is on the oil sands, the fuel source with the most potential is coal. In the Canadian landscape for climate change policy, the issue is much different.
