Estudio advierte que emisiones de CO₂ por combustibles fósiles batirán récord este año
Las emisiones mundiales de CO₂ generadas por combustibles fósiles alcanzarán un récord en 2025, según una investigación de Global Carbon Budget, que también advierte que mantener el calentamiento global por debajo de 1,5 °C podría ser "imposible".
TL;DR
- Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are expected to set a record in 2025.
- The target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C may be impossible to achieve.
- Renewable energy sources are currently insufficient to meet the increasing demand.
- Emissions from oil, gas, and coal are projected to increase in 2024, reaching 38.1 billion tonnes of CO2.
- The remaining carbon budget to stay below 1.5°C is 170 billion tonnes of CO2.
- China's fossil fuel emissions remained 'flat' globally this year, with coal use potentially offset by renewables.
- US emissions from coal increased due to higher gas prices, while EU emissions also rose.
- India saw limited CO2 emission growth due to early monsoons and renewable energy expansion.
- 35 countries have successfully reduced emissions without hindering economic growth.
- Reduced deforestation and fires in South America contributed to lower land-use emissions.
