    After Pulling Out Of Paris Climate Accords, U.S. Led The World In Decreasing Carbon Emissions Last Year

    According to the June 2018 BP Statistical Review of Global Energy, the United States led the world last year in reducing carbon emissions across the board, even though President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords in 2017.

    American Enterprise Institute reports that U.S. carbon emissions declined by more than 42 million tons in 2017, far ahead of the next most environmentally-friendly country, Ukraine, where emissions declined by 20 million tons. Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Japan also saw major declines in how much carbon dioxide each nation emits into the atmosphere.

    Strangely enough, Canada, Spain, the European Union, and China — all signatories to the infamous Paris Climate Accords negotiated by the United Nations — saw significant increases in carbon dioxide emissions. China released 120 million more tons of carbon dioxide into the air in 2017 than in 2016. The EU made up for America's decline, releasing 40 million more tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere....

    I tried looking up the report by British Petroleum that the article gets its numbers from, it's here :

    https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/en...ull-report.pdf

    CO2 emissions is on page 49 and pages 49-51 have gone blank, isn't that strange ?

    This statistic has the US going down 48m tons from 2016 to 2017, a 1% decrease :

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ons-from-1999/

    This statistic has the EU going up 1.8% :



    But if we compare the statistic for the EU over time to the link at the top of this post then the EU is doing better than the US :

    http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statist...ion_statistics

    The US is at the same level as in 1990, the EU is down over 20%.

    No, they are not missing.

    I can read them clearly.

    I can read them now actually. Must be some kind of a glitch.

    The last year and the last 10 years, India and China have been the worst. Among the big ones. No surprise there.

    It will be interesting to see if the US will follow up on its downward trend in the future.

    On the right there are three tabs, one of which is "Source" - the link provided leads to a paywall.
