Global carbon emissions are projected to stall in 2015, according to researchers at the University of East Anglia and the Global Carbon Project. Last year global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry grew by just 0.6 per cent -- marking a year-on-year slow down. The projection for 2015 reveals a second year of slow growth or even a small decrease in global emissions. The study is published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, with detailed data made available simultaneously in the journal Earth System Science Data.
