“…despite efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the global growth rate of CO2 was 3.2% between 2000 and 2005 compared to 0.8% during the 1990s. The data will soon be published by the Global Carbon Project (www.globalcarbonproject.org), a component of the ESSP.
“This is a very worrying sign”, said Dr Mike Raupach, Chair of the Global Carbon Project. “It indicates that recent efforts to reduce emissions have virtually no impact on emissions growth and that effective caps are urgently needed.” ”
