IEA: global CO2 emissions rebounded to their highest level in history in 2021; largely driven by China

Green Car Congress

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rose by 6% in 2021 to 36.3 The rebound of global CO 2 emissions above pre-pandemic levels has largely been driven by China, where they increased by 750 million tonnes between 2019 and 2021. In 2021 alone, China’s CO 2 emissions rose above 11.9 billion tonnes.

of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions. Aviation accounts for 3.5% —Marianne Tronstad Lund, co-author.

Study finds limiting warming to 2 °C would require at least a $200/t carbon tax globally

Green Car Congress

All regions of the world do not—and will not—experience the effects of CO 2 emissions in the same way. Some will suffer greatly from climate change, while others may even benefit. Of course, this logic is correct only from a global planner’s point of view, where the planner puts equal weights across individuals.
