usually when the economy is going good emissions are suppose to go up but their not

EMISSIONSAnalysis: Why US carbon emissions have fallen 14% since 2005



Before 2005, US carbon emissions were marching upwards year after year, with little sign of slowing down. After this point, they fell quickly, declining 14% from their peak by the end of 2016.

Researchers have given a number of different reasons for this marked turnaround. Some have argued that it was mainly due to natural gas and, to a lesser extent, wind both replacing coal for generating electricity. Others have suggested that the declines were driven by the financial crisis and its lasting effects on the economy.

Here Carbon Brief presents an analysis of the causes of the decline in US CO2 since 2005. There is no single cause of reductions. Rather, they were driven by a number of factors, including a large-scale transition from coal to gas, a large increase in wind power, a reduction in industrial energy use and changes in transport patterns.

Declines in US CO2 have persisted despite an economic recovery from the financial crisis. While the pace of reductions may slow, many of these factors will continue to push down emissions, notwithstanding the inclinations of the current administration.

Again no government data to backup that claim.

Again a chart that has no data to back it up says it's down. You cuckservatives will fall for anything. Lmao!

A website in the UK, Correct...lmao!

And the chart AEI posted was made by BP. Lmao!
So what's your point?

My point was obvious. You diminished the other poster's post because he didn't post "government data to back up that claim" and then post a website that does the same thing, no government data to back it up.

I actually liked your information but thought you should have stuck to your claim.

We know that with many, what the government says is the end all be all, right? :lol:

You might want to try and read the whole article next time.:happy2:
The analysis in this article builds on similar work done by researchers at IIASA, the US Department of Energy, the Breakthrough Institute and others, and extends the data up to the end of 2016. It also extends across most of the sources of CO2 emissions in the economy, rather than just focusing on electricity generation.

Electricity use and emissions by sector and fuel are taken from the US Energy Information Administration’s Monthly Energy Review.

A “business-as-usual” scenario assumes that both grid mixes (percent by fuel) and per capita electricity consumption stay constant at 2005 levels. Population data is from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Data on vehicle miles travelled per month is from the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. Vehicle fuel economy is based on Monthly Energy Review diesel and petrol use for transport and vehicle miles travelled. Airline seat miles come from the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, while airline fuel use is from the Monthly Energy Review.

I've lost the train of this argument. It appears you both agree carbon emissions are down?

I thought you climate change deniers didn’t care about carbon emissions? Isn’t it all a hoax by the Chinese? Why be proud of shrinking carbon emissions if they don’t matter?

theres always been a bit of extremism as you show in your argument.

I have made numerous posts for positive climate results and against climate alarmist who overstate the rate of impact on our environment. Those same alarmist usually doing a poor job of leading by example as witnessed by al gore and his energy sucking mansions and as the glut of private planes that show up for Climate symposiums.
