Global CO 2 emissions from fuel use and cement production by region. Since 2002, the average annual increase was almost 4%. Moreover, had 2008 not been a leap year—giving it an extra day—fuel consumption and emissions would have been even 0.3 Also in China, biofuels are increasingly being used as transport fuel.

The actual contribution of black carbon, emitted largely as a result of burning fossil fuels and biomass, may be even higher than 30% because the inventories report less black carbon than what has been measured by observations at several stations in India. Unlike other aerosols, black carbon absorbs sunlight, similar to greenhouse gases.
