Although the rate of emissions growth is slower than in the previous two years, the researchers warn emissions could keep increasing for a decade or more unless energy, transportation and industry policies change significantly across the world. In 2019, consumption of coal is expected to drop 11% in the U.S.—down growth in 2017.
