The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that in 2014, the economy grew and CO2 levels didn't. In the past, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was due to an economic downturn. That's because economic growth is often linked to increased energy use, which in turn increases emissions. The "decoupling" of the economy and carbon emissions was likely...
