Metro had an article today on how "Global Carbon Emissions head for a record in 2010". The article states that CO2 emission will reach a new height, mostly due to the growing economies of China and India and their reliance on coal. In 2009 annual emissions dropped by 1.3% from 2008 as a result of the global financial crisis; while the CO2 emission of the US and Japan dropped by 6.9% and 11.8% respectively, the emissions of China and India increased. The article also states that emissions due to deforestation have decreased.
