IEA estimates energy-related CO2 emissions in 2010 highest in history; 80% of projected 2020 emissions from the power sector are already locked in

Green Car Congress

This significant increase in CO 2 emissions and the locking in of future emissions due to infrastructure investments represent a serious setback to our hopes of limiting the global rise in temperature to no more than 2ºC. Global leaders agreed a target of limiting temperature increase to 2 °C at the UN climate change talks in Cancun in 2010.
