2018 Global CO2 Emissions, chart from BP
"Having been relatively stable overall for the last 7 years, global
CO2 emissions grew by ~2.0% in 2018.
2.5% of this growth was in the
Developing world whereas 1.1% of the growth was in the Developed world.
This growth of ~650,000,000 tonnes in 2018 was despite all the
international “commitments” arising from the Paris Climate Agreement.
The contrast between the Developed and Developing worlds remains stark:
- developing world emissions overtook Developed world CO2 emissions in 2005
- they have been escalating ever since the likely prognosis for their
CO2 emissions that they will continue to grow and accelerate."
