It wpold be a shame if this was all for show and all we did was export all polution into china and india while simultaniously destroying all european industry 😐
Oh wait.
A little delay thanks to big petro lobbying, but it seems like we’re getting there. Hopefully the CO2 is not emitted now elsewhere in the world instead from stuff we buy.
Cherry-picking in 2022:
“The European Union Increased Carbon Emissions By 10%.”
Thanks to deindustrialization?
We will never reach 0 anytime soon, but seeing this gives me hope that at least we can try.
Obligatory nb. **The y axis does not start at zero.**
So the drop since 1977 is around 30%. And almost certainly our total emissions have increased, not decreased, we have just outsourced them to developing countries…
Does this take into account emissions in foreign countries (eg China) that are produced as a result of demand for industrially produced and cheap goods in a increasingly de-industrialised EU?
Interesting to see the impact of the global recession c.2007-08 on carbon emissions!
Europe has exported it’s emissions to poorer countries. I wonder how eco-friendly is for example shiping steel from other continents to Europe.
Does this correct for various accessions and exits?
Wait, why is the climate still getting warmer compared to 1965 then?
this cant be true
how much of that decrease right at the end there is from brexit or is that somehow accounted for differently?
