BP’s annual global energy report reveals carbon emissions from the global energy industry climbed by 2% in 2018, the fastest rate in almost a decade.
The report shows that global temperature swings, days which are much hotter or colder than normal, are to blame for increasing demand for fossil fuels.
BP’s chief economist, Spencer Dale says the report reveals “a growing mismatch” between society's rising demand for climate change action and the actual pace of progress.
