US CO2 emissions set new record for 2004
The US Energy Information Administration released annual greenhouse emissions information on Monday. In an article by the NYT (12/21), Gas Emissions Reached High in US in ‘04, Andrew Revkin summarizes the report. Reductions in 2001 and 2002 were touted by the administration to be proof that progress was being made. However, trends suggest the dip was due to an economic slowdown with projected emissions in 2005 to exceed to 2004 levels. The complete greenhouse gas report is available online from the EIA.
