CO2 Emissions and Current Fossil Fuel Use
June 29, 2012 | International Energy Agency

The International Energy Agency has an article about global carbon dioxide emissions. During 2011 they increased by 1.0 Gt to a new record high. Some quotes:

* “What China has done over such a short period of time to improve energy efficiency and deploy clean energy is already paying major dividends to the global environment”

* “India’s emissions rose by 140 Mt, or 8.7%, moving it ahead of Russia to become the fourth largest emitter behind China, the United States, and the European Union.”

* “Despite these increases, per-capita CO2 emissions in China and India still remain just 63% and 15% of the OECD average respectively.”
