Agence France-Presse Monday 8 June 2015 15.49 AEST China’s greenhouse gas emissions will probably peak in 2025, five years earlier than its stated target, a study said on Monday, in a boost for hopes to curb climate change. On current trends, the world’s biggest carbon emitter will discharge 12.5-14bn tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) in 2025, after which emissions will decline, it said. The work was carried out by two research institutes at the London School of Economics (LSE). “This finding suggests it is increasingly likely that the world will avoid global warming of more than 2C above pre-industrial levels,” they said in a statement. The average temperature goal, which translates into 3.6F, is the upper limit targeted by the UN, which is seeking to enshrine it in a global accord in December.

Now it just remains for rogue countries like Australia to be led into the 21st Century.

Wow, 5 years before they might look at it.

Then again, it may not.

'On current trends, the world’s biggest carbon emitter will discharge 12.5-14bn tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) in 2025, after which emissions will decline, it said.'

Australia's emissions 319m tonnes. That bloody profligate Australia.

If Australia reduced it's entire emissions to zero (ie nobody produced anything at all) - China's increase alone would eat up the reduction in six months.

Still see Australia as the problem?

Andrei is a nazi, lol: like we didn't know  ::) ::)

What's the bet andrei secretly promotes black and gay culture  ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's a question of pulling your weight. Even countries like the Netherlands or Denmark can do it, so why shouldn't Australia ?

We could be net exporters of renewable energy with our solar resources.

China 2013 - 10.33bn Tonne

12 years to 2025 a conservative average of 11.5bn, 138 bn tonne. That's a lot of gas. Burp.

Why?? since China will out strip Australia (by a LOT) in the next 10 years??

Perhaps because the oldies DON'T hate kids...It's only drug f**ked idiots that 'think' they do...

So you think that all countries with less than 30 million people should do nothing?

The last time I checked, Australia was part of the world.

It's like being a part of a rowing team, and saying - I'm not going to row. There are another 7 people rowing. They can do 87.5% of the job without me. My contribution is negligible.

There is a good chance that the major polluters will come up with an accord for 2025 at the Paris convention.  The US, China and Germany have all made huge commitments to date.

I've no doubt that Lomborg, Lindzen, and the other circus clowns will be out in force during that event.

Australia has already called Lomborg out and seeing Australia is globally recognised for having dodged the global recession I think Lomborg has done his dash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

::)

Australia's contribution is negligible.......!!!

No need to send millions of Australia's tax payer monies to the United Nations and the world bank, or the $2 trillion dollar carbon derivatives market.

Thank you very much.
