Mauna Loa Observatory measures CO2 in the atmosphere.
What about the fossil fuel emitters? Is their input of carbon into the air going up or down? Where are we headed in the next few years?
Carbon emissions climbed by 2% in 2018, faster than any year since 2011, because the demand for energy easily outstripped the rapid rollout of renewable energy.
Q: Why did demand increase?
A: Climate change creates wild swings in hot and cold temperatures driving greater demand for electricity used in heating and air conditioning units. Welcome to the death spiral:
Carbon emissions from the global energy industry last year rose at the fastest rate in almost a decade after extreme weather and surprise swings in global temperatures stoked extra demand for fossil fuels.
Who crunched the numbers? “Liberal” “socialist” “scientists?” Nope, fossil fuel giant BP.
