A new report from Wood MacKenzie (Web | PDF) guesstimates that fossil fuel use will decline from 90% to 85% of global energy use by 2040… but buried in the details is the reality that CO2 emissions will be on the rise as energy demand grows.

EIA points out absurdity of utility efforts too shutter coal
“The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, projects carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector will decrease 9% from 2017 levels by 2050, with fossil fuels continuing to dominate electricity generation. Economy-wide carbon emissions are expected to decrease 2.5%, with reductions in the power sector and transportation offset by a 16% increase in carbon emissions from industrial sources.”
