Global emissions from energy use to increase through 2050: analysis

A new report from the U.S. government found that population and income increases will “offset” the impacts of efficiency and lower carbon intensity.

The report, from the independent Energy Information Administration (EIA), said that while there will be some shift away from fossil fuels, current policies are “not enough” to cut global emissions from energy use.
