Relentless rise in carbon pollution from fossil fuels slightly dampens climate-fighting hopes

BELEM, Brazil (AP) — For each of the past several years, scientists, analysts and officials have been hoping that it would be the year when emissions from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas would stop going up.

They’ll have to wait another year.

For the second straight year, emissions from fossil fuels rose 1.1% in 2025, scientists reported Wednesday at United Nations climate negotiations.

“It’s disappointing that we haven’t brought down carbon dioxide emissions,” said University of Exeter scientist Stephen Sitch, a member of the Global Carbon Project, which uses data from around the world to calculate the yearly emissions figure and publishes it in two scientific journals.

A second report from a different scientific group examined how much warming the world is on track for, given this year’s carbon emissions and governmental policies. The report by Climate Action Tracker shows the last four years of climate fighting efforts haven’t much changed projections for a hotter future much. In fact, the scientists found that actions by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration this year have added a bit more warmth to their projections.

“Unless there’s a change in political momentum, we’re going to cook. There’s no doubt about it,” said Climate Analytics CEO Bill Hare, one of the report’s authors.

Climate Action Tracker also looked at projections based on each country’s climate-fighting plan submitted this year leading up to the climate conference in Belem, Brazil. The future based on those pledges looks a tenth of a degree warmer than it did a year ago, according to their report. Much of that is the effect of Trump’s dismantling of American pollution fighting efforts, said NewClimate Institute’s Ana Missirliu, an author of the report.

Even more “climate change” nonsense from AP?
Yup.
FACT: Vastly more EVs are sold in China than anywhere else on earth, with the EVs mostly made by Chinese EV companies and Tesla, so what's the problem
Good news is Trump has taken the US out of the Paris COP30 climate change swindling outfit.
Let the stupid, broke Europeans pay for it with their own money.

By watching The Landsman we learned that windmills in Texas provide power to run the pump jacks that are remote from the power grid

These lefty greenies tore out 100,000 trees so as to have their worthless conference in the jungle. What’s that lunacy all about?

Who cares what they spew about “climate change” and global warming”? It is all lies from grifting pseudo-”scientists” who are seeking to steal evermore money from the rest of us under the guise of their pathetic dishonest theories.

They all should be arrested.

When any climate lunatic politician says, “we will be carbon free by 2050” they are full of crap.

Yet no one asks the million dollar questions. “What’s your plan for reducing carbon emissions? What is your risk mitigation strategy if you are wrong and the planet cools too much? How much is this going to cost? Who gets the money?”

Until someone can show their work, it is all BS.

I'm supposed to take the climate scam seriously when their Defenders Of The Faith destroyed 100 thousand trees for their summit? Sorry. Nope.

Boy. Wait’ll the next round of pyroclastic events.

There won’t be enough psychologists to cope with all of the depression of leftists.

/s

Maybe such events will ironically support their depopulation dreams.

The global temperature has gone up about 2 degrees F since the horrors of the “Little Ice Age” begin to wane a couple of centuries ago. It’s not quite pleasant yet, but at least it’s going in the right direction. Nice, isn’t it! I wouldn’t be buying any ocean front property in Hudson Bay quite yet, though, the Polar bears there are a bit too aggressive in the spring.

I strongly urge you to watch the following video where Tommy Norris, the Landsman, explains about the wind generators and the petroleum based infrastructure that we live in.

This is a fantastically great youtube clip......... you will absolutely love it. It is fantastic!

This AP liar “SETH BORENSTEIN” has been around many years and is up there Michael Mann in promoting this scam. There is no one worse in media today.

Hard to understand the constand the constant harping about CO2 emissions when CO2 is not & never has been a pollutant under normal conditions. What’s the deal with this?

The largest coal users in the world are China and India. Get them to buy into the Global Warming BS and maybe use will go down. But China and India aren’t besotted with Global Warming BS so it ain’t gonna happen.

Billy Bob Thorton in interviews later said he hated to have to act that part of the script out, it went against everything he believed in and sent the wrong message to people.

Taylor Sheridan was adamant it stayed in.
