Climate Change and Energy: Issues and Prospect for
... For example, CO2 emissions from the energy system were 78 million tonnes (MTon) in 1980, 83 MTon in 1985, 90 MTon in 1990 and 98 MTon in 1995. This implied that between 1980 and 1995, CO2 emissions increased at an annual average rate of 1.5%. At this rate, CO2 emission would be 106, 114 and 123 MTon ...
