The world will NOT cut CO2 emissions....

Every time someone forecasts CO2 emissions, they just go up.....why the charade in trying to reduce them???

GLOBAL greenhouse-gas emissions will almost double by 2030, a rate much faster than previously predicted, according to a paper co-written by the Federal Government's top climate change adviser.

A draft of the unpublished paper co-written by Professor Ross Garnaut says rapid economic growth in China is fuelling the increase and calls for developing countries to commit to binding emissions reduction targets to avoid such a "bleak" outcome.

The 2030 business-as-usual forecast is 11 per cent higher than the worst-case scenario developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The paper predicts the world reaching a level of emissions 20 years earlier than that predicted by the groundbreaking Stern Review by British economist Nicholas Stern.

It says the global effort to cut greenhouse gases will need to be much larger to avoid the projected scenario.

"Larger and earlier cuts in developed country emissions will be required than previously thought, and major deviations from baselines will be required in developing countries by 2020," the paper says.

"It is hard to see how the required cuts could be achieved without all major developing, as well as developed, countries adopting economy-wide policies to reduce emissions."
