https://www.sightline.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/US-China-Emissions-061612e.jpg612654There's some good news in BP's most recent Statistical Review of World Energy: in the US, total greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels fell 1.8% from 2010 to 2011. And in even better news, total US emissions have fallen by more than 7 percent from their 2005 peak. (Note that Barry Saxifrage recently spotted the same trends in data from the International Energy Agency.) But there's also some really, really bad news. In fact, here's the most frightening chart I've seen in weeks, created by Sightline pal Devin Porter, showing total climate-warming emissions from fossil fuels consumed in the US and China.
