US CO2 emissions are falling steadily, but not dramatically. They have dropped an average 1.67pc a year from 6bn t in 2007 to 5.1bn t in 2019. “Aviation demand will only return to 2019 levels by 2024” IEA And continued growth in wind and solar means an expected rise in nuclear capacity retirements this year is unlikely to change the trajectory of these reductions.
