Despite the economic effects of the global financial crisis (GFC), carbon dioxide emissions from human activities rose 2% in 2008 to an all-time high of 1.3 between 2000 and 2008, compared with 1% per year in the 1990s. over the previous seven years.

Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. Transportation-related CO2 emissions increased by 38 million metric tons (MMmt) (2.1%) in 2015. from 2014 levels. Electricity.

below the record 2008 figures. lower in 2009 than in 2008. The poor improvements in carbon intensity were caused by an increased share of fossil-fuel CO 2 emissions produced by emerging economies with a relatively high carbon intensity, and an increasing reliance on coal. This is less than half the drop predicted a year ago.

Energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2010 were the highest in history, according to the latest estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Gigatonnes (Gt), a 5% jump from the previous record year in 2008, when levels reached 29.3 Some scientists suggest the level must be even lower—i.e., Earlier post.).
