Only three years earlier, in 2006, China was in second place, and until recently had been very close to US emissions. But from 2008 to 2009, rapid growth has matched the country’s 9-10%
growth in GDP.Since 2000 the country’s CO2 emissions have
risen by 170.6%
US emissions are down for the second year in succession – after almost uninterrupted year
on year increases since these records began in 1980. The decline has matched the country’s economic woes which have seen it only just
emerge from recession.Since 2000 the country’s CO2 emissions have
fallen by 7.5%
