Emissions hiatus?

John Baez has a post on the latest preliminary data from EIA for 2014. Global CO2 emissions are the same as for 2013 at 32.3 Gtons. EIA says that it is the first non-increase for 40 years that was not tied to an economic downturn.

They attribute the pause to greater use of renewables, mentioning China. Greenpeace expands on this, saying that China's use of coal dropped by 8%, with a consequent 5% drop in CO2 emission. They give the calc with sources here. This source says April coal mined in China was down 7.4% on last year, which they do partly attribute to economic slowdown there.

It's just one year, and may be influenced by China's economy. We'll see.
