Global carbon intensity fell last year along with coal consumption –

Global carbon intensity (the emissions per unit of GDP) dropped by 2.8 percent in 2015—more than double the average from 2000 to 2014. The biggest driver was a significant drop in China’s coal consumption. While certainly encouraging, the number is still far below the 6.5 percent required to stay below the 2-degree warming target outlined in the Paris agreement. The Guardian
