[GPSCC-chat] CO2 Emissions Report

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

The PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency
(part of the Dutch government) has produced a report
on CO2 emissions.

http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/trends-in-global-co2-emissions-2013-report

Below is it's table of contents.  Please note that the
conclusion in part 4 is "signs of a slowdown in the
annual increase in global CO2", NOT a slowdown in
production of CO2".  The only year this century that
did not have a growth in emissions was 2009.  I presume
that was due to the economic downturn as a result of
the mortgage meltdown.
