Coal generation decreased in 2022, but overall U.S. emissions increased

“Overall, U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions increased slightly in 2022 to 4,939 MMmt from 4,905 MMmt in 2021, driven by a 2% increase in transportation sector emissions and a combined 1% increase in the residential and commercial sectors, according to our newly released annual report on energy-related carbon emissions. Industrial sector emissions declined by 2% as industrial activity decreased by 3% over the period”
Our comment:
2022 US fossil fuel emissions are the same as 1990. Under the unratified Kyoto protocol, US is supposed to be 7% below 1990 level by 2012. How much money has been completely wasted fighting an non-existent climate crisis?
