Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). In 2013, global CO 2 emissions grew to the new record of 35.3

While the proposed China regulation for 2020 is more stringent than the glide path, the 2017 Brazil regulation is less stringent. Brazil recently proposed passenger vehicle CO 2 emissions regulations of 135 g CO 2 /km by 2017,57 considerably less stringent than the 450 ppm glide path result of 126 g CO 2 /km in 2015.

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.

The aggressive scenario assumes, for example, that China, India, and Brazil adopt Euro 6 standards by 2015, a regime that would reduce emissions of particulate matter by about 85%, nitrogen oxides by about 65%, and carbon monoxide by about 70% for passenger vehicles. In comparison, the Northern Hemisphere has warmed by about 0.3°C

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2. Many others are not so careful.
