Global energy-related CO2 emissions edged up to record high in 2022 - IEA

"International and national fossil fuel companies are making record revenues and need to take their share of responsibility," Birol said.

Global emissions from energy rose by 0.9% in 2022 to a record 36.8 billion tonnes, the IEA analysis showed. Carbon dioxide emissions from coal grew by 1.6% last year with many countries turning to the more polluting fuel after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a reduction in Russian gas supply to Europe sparked record high gas prices.Around half of the increase in oil-related emissions was due to a rise in air travel which was rebounding from a low during the pandemic.

Lower output from nuclear power plants and extreme weather events including heatwaves also contributed to the increase in energy related emissions, the IEA said. Emissions were partly offset, however, by a rise in renewable power sources like wind and solar, energy efficiency measures and electric vehicles. These avoided an additional 550 million tonnes of CO2 emissions last year, the IEA said.

Its steam not smoke stupid.

Oh noes!!! Lord Surtr is going to pierce the veil between Muspelheim and Midgard! The only way to save Midgard is if Reuters and their massive carbon footprint ceased to exist.

Thanks to China and India

What about China & India biggest polluters in the world & career criminals want us to pay for the 🌎 while 🌎 gets a pass. Same career criminals are the ones doing the damage to Mother Earth. Ponzi Schemes the elite come up with.

Wonder who the biggest polluters are 😏🙄

Plants are happy

And with China building more coal plants this will continue, no matter what the rest of us do. Also your photo is of steam geniuses.

china, india, russia africa yet we in west have to pay for it?

people not profits

Stop cutting down the forests… trees absorb CO2 as part of their good cycle … plant more trees ….. it’s basic
