In a somewhat hopeful note, the report found that in 2014 and 2015, carbon dioxide emissions growth rates slowed as economic growth became less carbon - intensive.

Anderson argues that actual emissions growth rates are much higher than those used by most IAMs, and that even ambitious emission peaks are much nearer 2020 — 2030 than the naïve estimates of 2010 — 2016 used by most models.

Anderson told environmentalresearchweb: «The vast majority of IAMs assume low emission growth rates; early emission peaks; annual reduction rates limited to between 2 and 4 %; untested geoengineering; and a high penetration of nuclear power alongside untested «carbon capture and storage» technologies.

It is well documented that global temperature acceleration has significantly paused since 1998, despite the global CO2 emissions growth rate easily exceeding the business - as - usual (BAU) scenarios presented by NASA's James Hansen way back in 1988.

The study points to China's projected emissions growth rate of 3.5 percent — following two years of decline — as the single-most important reason for the resumed global emissions growth.

Coupled with an emissions growth rate of 3.3 percent — triple the growth rate of the 1990s — the atmospheric burden is now rising by nearly two parts per million of CO2 a year, the fastest growth rate since 1850, the international team of researchers reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA.

CO2 growth rates (CEI, p. 11): arguments about what growth rates for CO2 emissions that some models use are besides the point of what the science says about the climate sensitivity of the earth system (emissions growth rates are if anything an economic question).

Thus, the benefits of a reduction in CO2 emissions — or even a reduction in the emissions growth rate — increase dramatically with time.

In scientific literature a few comparisons between the SRES projections and reality exist, like a 2007 PNAS study, which stated «The emissions growth rate since 2000 was greater than for the most fossil - fuel intensive of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions scenarios developed in the late 1990s.»
