Global fossil fuel emissions to hit record high in 2025, study says
- On Nov 13, the Global Carbon Project reported fossil-fuel CO2 will reach 38.1 billion tonnes in 2025, up 1.1% from 2024, during COP30 UN climate talks in Belém, Brazil.
- The GCP analysis says rising energy demand outpaces renewable deployment, with data centres and colder weather boosting heating in the United States and European Union.
- The report also finds land-use CO2 fell to 4.1 billion tonnes, meaning total CO2 was about 42.2 billion tonnes in 2025 after El Niño aided sink recovery.
- The authors calculate the remaining carbon budget of 170 billion tonnes equals roughly four years at 2025 emission rates, and Professor Pierre Friedlingstein warned `With CO2 emissions still increasing, keeping global warming below 1.5°C is no longer plausible`.
- At COP30 in Belém, scientists urged faster action as some nations step back, saying immediate reductions are needed, with the report projecting a 170 billion tonne emissions budget remaining.

A Fossil Fuel Fight Brews at COP30 as Delegates Draft Road Map
It’s all about fossil fuels, folks. Today’s a good day to remember it took 28 COP editions for these two magic words to make it into an official text. When they did, in 2023 in Dubai, it was as part of a commitment by countries to transition away from them. At COP30, fossil fuels have taken center stage from minute one.
Group urges end to ecocide, fossil fuels at COP30
The group called for recognition and support for Indigenous peoples, describing them as “the best caretakers of the land.” The post Group urges end to ecocide, fossil fuels at COP30 appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria.
Global CO2 emissions are rising to a new record level in 2025. Researchers therefore declare the 1.5-degree target unattainable. However, there are also encouraging signals: dozens of states demonstrate that climate protection and economic growth are compatible.
After riding ecological anxieties and battles pro Amazonia, the green-gold minister Marina Silva freezes the Cop30: "Abandoning fuels would cause a global collapse."Who knows that Marina Silva thought as she walked along the four-lane highway that cuts the Amazon forest in two, which was turned to zero to arrive at Belém, where the green and hypocritical liturgy of the Cop 30 is celebrated. She is the paladin of the Siringeros, - those who extra…
Fossil emissions are expected to increase further this year to a new record, which is far from being able to absorb increasingly fragile carbon sinks, according to the Global Carbon Project's annual study.
Carbon emissions are expected to increase by 1.1 per cent this year, driven by an increase in coal, oil and gas, while emissions from deforestation are falling, according to the Global Carbon Project.
