Global emissions

A report by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency says global emissions have increased 5.8 per cent in 2010 compared to 2009. The report holds China and India responsible for the bulk of this increase and says that the developed countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol and the US collectively remain on target to meet their Kyoto Protocol target. But the report fails to highlight the emissions increase in the developed countries and how some major developed countries are failing to meet their Kyoto targets. Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) analyzed the numbers in the report to present a clear picture of global emissions in 2010.
