In 2010, the world's carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels rose by the most ever seen. A report
released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project says that emissions went up 5.9 percent in 2010.
Analysts said it was likely the biggest jump in any single year since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This
was the latest in a long line of rising emissions that will make it hard, if not impossible, to stop severe climate
change in the next few decades.
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. A new study
shows that between 2009 and 2010, emissions in the US dropped by an amazing 7%. However, they rose by
over 4% in 2010.
Every year, emissions go up, and there are talks and no decisions. This is what researcher Glen P. Peters at the
Center for International Climate and Environmental Research said. "There are no signs that we will change the
path we've been on for the past 10 years."
Scientists say that the fast rise in emissions is making the Earth warmer and endangering people's health and
safety in the long term. But their increasingly urgent calls for people to find a way to cut down on emissions
have been met with strong political opposition in many countries, where doing so would mean higher energy
costs.
As expected, the new numbers show that developing countries are now putting out more greenhouse gases than
rich countries. The new study found that burning fossil fuels and making cement released more than nine billion
tons of carbon into the air in 2010. Of that amount, 57% came from developing countries.
At first glance, the numbers from the past few years look like they show that rich countries have made progress
in lowering their emissions. But Dr. Peters said that in a way, the rich countries have just sent some of them to
other places.
One of the primary causes for the fast rise in developing countries is the growth of manufacturing industries that
use a lot of energy to make goods that rich countries buy. "The only thing that has changed is where the
emissions are coming from," Dr. Peters said.
As a way to deal with the economic downturn, many countries spent billions of dollars on programs that made
their energy systems greener. It's possible, but the new numbers show that they haven't changed much so far.
