GCP Carbon Budget Finds Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions Rose 2% in 2008 Despite Global Financial Crisis; Natural Sinks Not Keeping Pace With Increasing Emissions

Green Car Congress

The use of coal as a fuel has now surpassed oil and developing countries now emit more greenhouse gases than developed countries, with a quarter of their growth in emissions accounted for by increased trade with the West. Emissions from coal are now the dominant fossil fuel emission source, surpassing 40 years of oil emission prevalence.

Moreover, with the massive drop in oil prices , gas-powered vehicles are more economical to operate, which makes it harder to argue that EVs will help drivers save money on fuel. It’s fair to presume that many will be less inclined to adapt to new technology during this time, delaying non-essential investments until the situation stabilizes.
