Carbon emissions set for ‘shocking’ rise in 2021
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that a rise in carbon dioxide emissions will put climate hopes “out of reach” unless governments act quickly, The Guardian reports. A surging use of coal, the “dirtiest fossil fuel”, for electricity is largely driving the emissions rise and it’s forecast to jump this year by the second biggest annual increase in history.
IEA executive director Fatih Birol said the rise in emissions was “shocking and very disturbing”. “On the one hand governments today are saying climate change is their priority,” he told the Guardian. “But on the other hand, we are seeing the second biggest emissions rise in history. It is really disappointing.”
