Growth in oil use, particularly aviation, and coal use are behind most of the increase in 2022.

After hitting a low in April, global emissions rebounded strongly and rose above 2019 levels in December. If governments don’t move quickly with the right energy policies, this could put at risk the world’s historic opportunity to make 2019 the definitive peak in global emissions. China was the only major economy that grew in 2020.

I take a day off work, gas up my old school Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) queen and ride out for in-person visits with as many chambers of commerce, economic development entities, fleet managers, city and county staff, and car dealerships that I can squeeze into a day. Every month I visit a different county. Some are looking for a fight.
