US Greenhouse Gas Emissions Fell Only 0.2% in 2024: Analysis
- US greenhouse gas emissions dropped just 0.2% in 2024, according to estimates by the Rhodium Group.
- The US is further off-track from President Joe Biden's goal of cutting emissions 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.
- The increase in electricity demand in 2024 was driven by higher air conditioning use due to heat, leading to a slight rise in emissions from the power sector.
- Experts warn that the stagnation in emissions puts the US even farther from meeting its climate commitments, especially with the incoming Trump administration's plans to roll back climate policies.
