Declining consumption of coal in the US last year played a significant role in keeping down global emissions of carbon dioxide, according to a new report [bbc.com].

The Global Carbon Project annual analysis [globalcarbonproject.org] shows that CO2 emissions were almost flat for the third year in a row, despite a rise in economic growth.

The slowdown in the Chinese economy since 2012 has also been a key factor limiting carbon.

Experts believe it is too early to say if global CO2 emissions have peaked.
