Posted September 11, 2018 12:01:23A new report by The Washington Times and Reuters, the largest media outlets in the U.N., shows that U.K. emissions of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, are higher than they were five years ago and that our country is headed toward the brink of a catastrophic energy crisis.
The report also warns that U,S.
energy consumption could peak by 2050, leaving the country without clean and renewable energy sources for generations to come.
“The U.G.C. report, titled “The End of Carbon-Dioxide Emissions?” finds that by 2050 energy demand will be higher than ever before, with an average increase of 3.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) per year, the highest rate ever recorded,” the Washington Times reports.
“With so many people still relying on fossil fuels, the United States and its allies are on a collision course with an imminent energy crisis,” the Times adds.
“The U,G.A. report says that in 2050, U. S. carbon dioxide emissions will rise by more than 30 percent.
The U.,S.
economy could also be crippled, as the U,N.
reports say that an additional 1.5 billion people could be on the brink.”
The report, authored by a team of environmental economists at the University of Manchester, was based on data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which analyzed government and industry records for the first time.
The team used the agency’s Global Energy Balance (GEB) database to identify trends in energy use from 1970 through 2015, when the United Kingdom began taking aggressive steps to reduce carbon emissions.
It found that the UK’s peak energy consumption peaked in 2000 at 2,067 gigawatt hours per year (GWh/year), a level that has since fallen to 1,734 GWh/yr.
The authors estimate that emissions have fallen from 2,928 GWh in 2000 to 1.8 billion GWh per year in 2020.
By 2050, the U.,G.B.
A predicts, the UK will be at the top of the list for the lowest carbon emissions per capita in the world, while the U.-S.
will be in the middle.
By 2060, the report says, the two countries will be the worst in the developed world at emissions per person, while China will lead the pack.
The U.,B.a. report notes that the United S. and other countries in the developing world will be worse off than they are now.
The report notes, “The most pessimistic projections are for the global economy to be smaller than the OECD average by 2060.
For the world economy to reach a sustainable level, emissions must drop from their current levels to zero by 2050.”
The U-B.s findings echo similar ones made by the International Energy Agency, the body that promotes energy security.
The IEA forecasts that by 2030, the world’s population will exceed 8 billion and by 2050 it will have grown to more than 7 billion people.
While the U-S.
has a far larger economy than the UK, the authors say that the gap in GDP will widen as the United kingdom becomes increasingly dependent on fossil fuel exports.
By 2060 in the United U.A., GDP will be 6 percent lower than the IEA’s forecast for 2020.
By 2050, it is expected to be less than 3 percent lower, the I.a says.
In its report, the Times said the U.’s economy could be crippled by its reliance on fossil energy.
“In 2050, our economies will be more dependent on energy exports than on imports,” the paper says.
“These exports will not only be more expensive than imports, but will also generate more pollution than they remove from the air and the soil.”
“The most optimistic projections are that the U.”s economy will be smaller, while that of the United B.a.’s will grow to more, the paper said.
The authors say this trend will continue unless “the U.a.”s leadership in renewable energy is matched by a commitment to other sectors of the economy that are also reliant on fossil-fuel exports.””
“
We cannot afford to leave the future of our children and grandchildren to the hands of foreign governments.”
