Carbon Dioxide Emissions Increased in 2022 as
Crises Roiled Energy Markets
Nov. 10, 2022
WASHINGTON — Global fossil fuel emissions will most
likely reach record highs in 2022 and do not yet show signs of declining,
researchers said Thursday, a trend that puts countries further away from their
goal of stopping global warming.
This year, nations
are projected to emit roughly 36.6 billion tons of planet-warming carbon
dioxide by burning coal, natural gas and oil for energy, according to new data from the Global Carbon
Project. That’s 1 percent more than the world emitted in 2021 and
slightly more than the previous record in 2019, which came before the
coronavirus pandemic caused a temporary drop in
global energy use and emissions.
