The global emission of CO2, the main culprit behind global warming, would shrink with three percent this year because of the economic crisis. This appears from a study by the International Energy Agency. The decline of emmission would be the biggest in forty years, so says Fatih Birol, the IEA expert in economics, at a press conference.
Birol designates that break as a 'window of opportunity' to reduce global warming of two degrees Celsius,on condition that soon a right policy is put on track.
