Collective CO2 emission factors
Why worldwide CO2 emissions are still rising
Economic growth
Population size
How we can stop worldwide rising of CO2 emissions
Energy intensity
Emissions per energy
Why worldwide CO2 emissions are still rising
Population size
More people = higher CO2 emissions
How to reduce population growth
Access to contraction
Investment in education
Investment in healthcare
BUT
It will take decades for the effect of lower birthrate to manifest
Economic growth
The richer we are = more emissions our lifestyle produces
Example
A programmer in US has a higher CO2 footprint than 50 farmers in Uganda
How we can stop worldwide rising of CO2 emissions
Energy intensity
The more efficient something is, the less energy we need to do something
But it can cause
Direct rebound effects
Indirect rebound effects
Less return on investment
How efficiently we use energy
Emissions per energy
Coal plant release much more CO2 that solar power per unit energy
The more fossil fuels we burn, the higher our CO2 output
