Between the 80's and the 90's, man - made emissions of carbon from fosil fuels increased from about 5 billion tons per year to about 6.5 billion tons per year, which means a 30 % increase in how much CO2 we put into the atmosphere yearly. (realclimate.org)

But it would be a powerful demonstration that governments can ban new climate - damaging projects and refuse to make new fosil fuel export agreements on climate - ethical grounds. (cedamia.org)
