We are all aware of the continuing increase in China\u2019s emissions of carbon dioxide, which are now 22% higher than in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we must not forget about the rest of Asia, which accounts for nearly as much as China is emitting. These also continue to rise, 13% up on 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK emits as much in a year as Asia does in five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little wonder then that Climate Action Tracker does not impress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
