Scientists have previously calculated that CO2 emissions fell by 7 percent during the full year 2020 as people stayed at home because of the pandemic.
Figures released Tuesday by the International Energy Agency show emissions from the production and use of oil, gas and coal were 2 percent higher in December 2020 than a year earlier. The Paris-based intergovernmental agency said a resurgence in economic activity coupled with a lack of clean energy policies mean many countries are now seeing higher emissions than before the coronavirus outbreak.
