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. Emissions from coal are now the dominant fossil fuel emission source, surpassing 40 years of oil emission prevalence.
