Global carbon emissions are about to reach 36 billion tons

Recent scientists said carbon emissions this year are continuing to rise and will reach a record of 36 billion tons.

According to GCP Global Carbon Project researchers, the level of carbon emissions expected to be released by the end of this year will reach 36 billion tons, an increase of 2.1% compared to 2012. This is also shows that global emissions from burning fossil fuels increase by about 60% compared to 1990.

Scientists say human activity causes greenhouse gases such as methane or carbon dioxide to be the main culprit in global warming. Annual statistics of carbon emissions show that climate change and global warming are getting worse.

According to Live Science, the number given by GCP at the time of the Conference on Climate Change is taking place in Warsaw, Poland, has asked the international delegates to quickly agree on solutions to counteract. Deal with this situation.

At the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2009, experts agreed to maintain the average temperature increase of Earth below 2 degrees Celsius. This is the level that can be reduced. Minor risks of climate change in the world. Corinne Le Quere, a researcher at the University of East Anglia, UK, said only rapid reductions in emissions would stabilize the global climate change.

According to the global carbon emissions report (GCB), China is the top country in the list of countries with the highest carbon emissions in 2012 with 27%, behind the list is the US (14%). ), Europe (10%) and India (6%).

The demand for energy, especially fossil energy such as coal, gas, and oil in developed countries is growing, making the emissions generated increasing. In 2012, an estimated 43% of global carbon emissions were emitted from coal-fired operations, 33% from oil use. Natural gas increases by 18% and forest fire causes 8% of emissions.
