  1. That’s quite simple, a lot of people were moved from industry sector to service sector (especially IT). More GDP, less CO2.

  2. Nice, but it was not so difficult given that the Czech Republic was one of the biggest polluters in the world and only the Gulf states were ahead of us. Large industrial companies have moved to Asia for cheaper labor. Otherwise, 07-09 was a world economical crisis, All had lower GDP than now.

  3. It’s because we had a bunch of old communist steel forges that were getting shut down regardless. It’s also why we have a bunch of free CO2 povolenky that we keep selling off.
