Prospect of limiting the global increase in temperature to 2ºC is getting bleaker

According to the IEA energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2010 were the highest in history, making it unlikely to meet temperature rise to no more than 2º.

IEA estimates that 40% of global emissions came from OECD countries in 2010, these countries only accounted for 25% of emissions growth compared to 2009. Non-OECD countries – led by China and India – saw much stronger increases in emissions as their economic growth accelerated.
