From 2005 through 2020, total US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are projected to rise by 4% under a “with measures” scenario (but without a cap-and-trade program and other complementary policies), from 7,109 Tg CO 2 Eq. The United States released previous Climate Action Reports in 1994, 1997, 2002, and 2006. to 7,416 Tg CO 2 Eq.,
