ATMOSPHERIC CARBON REDUCED LAST YEAR

Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. fell 2.9 percent last year, according to a new report. The International Energy Agency (IEA) found that the U.S. decline was the largest, at 140 million tons, of any country. It also noted that since 2000, U.S. emissions have decreased nearly one gigaton. “A 15 percent reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019,” the report said. Globally, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions flat lined at about 33 gigatons following two years of increases.
