The report also noted that there was a record breaking annual increase in global CO2 emissions of 5.8% between 2009 and 2010, reaching a total record high of 33 billion tonnes in 2010.

Continued growth in developing countries and emerging economies and economic recovery by the industrialized countries from 2009 to 2010 are the main reasons for this record breaking annual increase.

This record was achieved despite reductions from industrialized countries. One reason is the fact that the share of global emissions from industrialized countries has dropped from two-thirds in 1990 to less than half in 2010.

A key point made by report.......

Increased efficiency, nuclear energy and the growing contribution of renewable energy are not compensating for the worldwide increase in demand for power and transport, which is strongest in developing countries
