bigwave Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 FORGET PARIS: United States Led Entire World In Reducing CO2 Emissions In 2019 “The fact that the U.S.A. is leaving the Paris accord seems to outrage and worry everyone, and it should,” Thunberg said last month. “But the fact that we’re all about to fail the commitments you signed up for in the Paris Agreement doesn’t seem to bother the people in power even the least.” But here’s the thing, Greta. The United States didn’t fail on its goals. In fact, it surpassed them by a mile. According to a new report, the United States reduced its CO2 emissions last year more than any other country. “The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt,” The International Energy Agency (IEA) said in the report released Tuesday. “US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period.” “A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019,” the IEA said. “Coal-fired power plants faced even stronger competition from natural gas-fired generation, with benchmark gas prices an average of 45% lower than 2018 levels. As a result, gas increased its share in electricity generation to a record high of 37%. Overall electricity demand declined because demand for air-conditioning and heating was lower as a result of milder summer and winter weather.” For the rest of the article:https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/forget-paris-united-states-led-entire-world-in-reducing-co2-emissions-in-2019/ 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
