Developed world CO2 emissions flat since 1980. All increase due to developing countries who now produce a majority of CO2. And whose emissions are still growing fast: ........ § The USA, simply by exploiting shale gas for electricity generation, has already reduced its CO2 emissions by some 9.5% since 2005 [4]. That alone has already had more CO2 emission reduction effect than the entire Kyoto protocol [5] [6]. .......... § there has been a very rapid escalation of Chinese CO2 emissions since the year 2000 [7]. § China overtook the USA CO2 emissions in 2006, and Chinese emissions are now ~62% greater than the USA, the escalation in Chinese CO2 emissions continues. Chinese emissions have grown by +75% since 2005 and China continues to build coal fired powerstations to supply the bulk of its electricity as demand grows. § India has accelerating emissions [8], growing from a low base by +63% since 2005. India too is building coal fired powerstations to increase the supply of electricity as 25% of its population still has no access to electric power. [ And American green hero, Tom Steyer, got mega-wealthy financing that third world coal growth. Now the SOB uses the money made over the past decade financing coal to fight fossil fuel use in the US. ] ............. § Germany, one of the largest CO2 emitters in Europe, has emissions/head ~100% higher than the worldwide average and is still ~49% higher than China. Germany’s emissions/head have increased recently because they are now burning much larger quantities of brown coal to compensate them for the “possibly irrational” closure of their nuclear generating capacity. ................ http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/08/03/the-record-of-recent-man-made-co2-emissions-1965-2013/#more-113952
