According to the Global Carbon Project, which monitors this, global CO2 emissions climbed by 1.6% last year. They are on track to shoot up by 2.7% this year. That's after three years of annual emissions remaining flat.
Wait a minute. The accelerating growth in carbon emissions came after some 200 countries signed the Paris agreement?
At the time, Barack Obama called the Paris agreement "an enduring agreement that reduces global carbon pollution and sets the world on a course to a low-carbon future. "
It "sends a powerful signal that the world is firmly committed to a low-carbon future," Obama said. He even called the agreement "a turning point for the world."
Right.
The reality is that nations need energy to grow. And the best and most economical forms of energy are oil, natural gas and coal.
