The Global Carbon Project has just published the new global carbon budget and carbon trend analyses including 2010.
Key findings and analyses include:
* CO2 emissions grew 5.9% in 2010 to reach 9.1 GtC (33.5Gt CO2), overcoming a 1.4% decrease in CO2 emissions in 2009
* Including land-use change and deforestation, in 2010 emissions reached 10.0 GtC (36.8 Gt CO2)
* A comparison of the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis with other major economic crises
* Update of CO2 emissions from both production and consumption in individual countries to 2010
* As of 2009 developing countries now emit more than developed countries in terms of consumption, and China now emits more than the US in terms of consumption
* Analysis of recent trends in emissions and the fossil fuel intensity of the global economy
* An update of the key components in the global carbon budget to 2010
A commentary/correspondence with the major findings has just been published online at Nature Climate Change
