But carbon pollution from burning fossil fuels has risen 1% on 2021 levels, the analysis from the Global Carbon Project says, and is now slightly above the record levels seen in 2019.
Countries are expected to emit a total 36.8 billion metric tons of CO2 from fossil fuels in 2023, a 1.1% increase from last year, the report by scientists from more than 90 institutions including ...
An estimated 5.13 million deaths per year globally are attributable to air pollution from fossil fuel use that could be avoided by phasing them out.
Cement production (burning of fossil fuels) (4%) is estimated at 1.42 GtCO 2; Land-use change (LUC) is the imbalance of deforestation and reforestation. Estimations are very uncertain at 4.5 GtCO 2. Wildfires alone cause annual emissions of about 7 GtCO 2 [98] [99] Non-energy use of fuels, carbon losses in coke ovens, and flaring in crude oil ...

The burning of fossil fuels has a number of negative externalities – harmful environmental impacts where the effects extend beyond the people using the fuel. These effects vary between different fuels. All fossil fuels release CO 2 when they burn, thus accelerating climate change.
Scientists say burning fossil fuels for industry, energy and transport is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse gas emissions heating up the Earth.
