The United States led the world in tackling CO2 emissions last year while combining that singular success with solid economic growth, a new report reveals.
It has also been confirmed while the U.S. was hitting its climate goals, at the same time 80 percent of the increase in CO2 emissions came from Asia and that China and India both contributed significantly to global increases.
The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported Tuesday. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period.
A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019, the IEA continued.

Leader in reducing the threat of a made up hoax? Who cares. Like celebrating a new snipe repellent.
There’s a new snipe repellent? Nobody told me. Does Ace carry it? LOL!
Thank goodness for Fracking.
Nobel Peace Prize for Trump!
Watch the Yurps and Leftists melt down when you point out the US is the global leader in carbon emissions reductions - while not being intheParis Agreement - AND its due to fracking - AND the US has been much better about this than European countries have been. :^)
All without sending BILLIONS $$$ to the Paris Climate Accord.
Oh Greta... Clean up on isle six...
I know right? How could that happen without being a party to the Paris thingy? Probably Trump spreading false info.
Trump should immediately claim the high ground on this before it becomes a campaign talking point they try to use against him.
You may get a cease and desist letter if you use her actual name. Pretty sure I read that it’s been trademarked or copyrighted or something. :-)
How dare we!
The Greenslimes will still blame the US because th he grear amount of CO2 being produced in Asia is the result of transplanted US production facilities making Timberland shoes, Apple Computers, Polo jeans for the evil consumer US market. See it is always heads I win, tails you lose with these slugs.
Oh, you mean like the plastastrophe we’re causing? Straw and grocery bags.
[[Leader in reducing the threat of a made up hoax? Who cares.]]
Precisely- kinda sad that we’re giving the hoax any credibility at all- there is a ton of evidence that man isn’t causing natural cyclical warming trends- yet noone on the right makes the argument- so we’re stuck pretending we’re ‘doing something about’ ‘climate change’
Mankind gives up fossil fuels and lives like sh!t, there is still going to be another global ice age. Mankind does nothing and there will still be another global ice age.
LOL
Yeah, heard about that.
bkmk
Really? You don’t long for the days of sitting on the veranda of your mud hut with the odor of dung fires wafting through the village? Yeah, me neither.
Allam Cycle likely front runner to add coal to mix after commercial introduction of NG fired plant in 2022. Gas fueled plant has a reported production cost of 1.9 cent per kWh when including secondary product revenue streams.
Overall efficiency for first commercial NG fired plant is projected as 55%-59%. Adding a coal gasification unit for syngas fuel production will cut overall efficiency to the 45% to 49% range.
