As world leaders in Paris scramble to reach a climate agreement aimed to mitigate the consequences of untamed greenhouse gas emissions, they have been dealt a rare dose of good news.
Scientists writing in the journal Nature Climate Change estimate that for the first time in the last 15 years, global carbon dioxide emissions have flatlined, and possibly even declined.
"It is difficult to overstate the significance of this development," said Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University. "What it shows is that we are indeed now turning the corner in transition from a fossil fuel to renewable-driven global economy."
The study, which was the tenth of its kind published by this team of researchers, showed that CO2 emissions from the consumption of fossil fuel and cement production grew by a mere 0.6 percent in 2014, compared with 2.4 percent annual growth for the decade before.

C02 appears to be flat lining or going down. And it's all because of the "wonderful" job the UN is doing with reducing their emissions!
Or maybe not? Is this good news or bad news? We really going up or down? Too high or too low? I'm so confused.
Nope. The climate-alarmists have simply figured out a new trick: when cold Winters are approaching, claim that CO2 is low.
When hot Summers are here, claim that CO2 is high.
This way, they can “show” that CO2 controls the temp. They can’t go wrong!
Does this mean all the scientists in the southern hemisphere will claim CO2 is low in the winter and high in the summer?
They've been stuck in the sewer far too long.
CO2 concentration in the air tends to follow the temperature. If there is less CO2 being emitted, I wonder if the average global temperature is actually dropping. It is a long-term cause and effect cycle, though. CO2 levels typically lag temperature by decades, according to the historical record.
But what about the killer bees? Won’t they attack before the gators do?
Then again NYC will be underwater, so they’ll probably have to go after some unsuspecting canucks.
Bad news for plant life around the world.
Nobody has a job!
The more planet-friendly we are, the more the planet will be friendly in return! See how that works? It’s perfect! /s
The only ‘global warming emissions’ which are hazardous to society are shot from the sphincters of an endless - and endlessly tedious - set of well-connected and profligate corrupt politicians and the dishonest, but certaily well-paid, scientists on their payrolls.
Oh well, break's over. Those dorks will have us shoveling snow in August again.

It is all up to Sun.
But the pat your own back line starts here.
As “Deep Throat” said, “follow the money”. That should clear things up. There are a lot of dull witted pseudo scientists who make a very good living promoting climate change.

um..
NO!
what is shows is that WE had NOTHING to do with it and that carbon dioxide is not a leading indicator of warming but a trailing one. This is shown in ALL the historical temperature charts.
Warming stopped (by natural causes) nearly 20 years ago, now the carbon dioxcide is going down AS EXPECTED by anyone with a brain.
One thing you can be 100% sure of, humans haven’t started producing less CO2 than before!!!!
Just adding another “floating” variable to add in for the purpose of obfuscation of the Truth...
