From early in the article

This is despite warnings from the International Energy Agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Institute for Sustainable Development and (as of last week) the UN Environment Programme that searching for new fossil fuels is not consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5C.
