BP's Annual Global Energy Report Released In June, 2018

For the archives.

Link here for the report. Key takeaways:
  • growth in overall energy demand is up
  • gains in energy intensity are down
  • coal consumption grew for the first time in four years (mostly India; lesser extent China)
  • most striking of all, carbon emissions are up after three consecutive years of little or no growth
Most fun: looking at how even this report is politicized:
  • Fox News notes that the US led the world in cutting global emissions of CO2 -- assuming that even matters (you will have to find that on your own -- google app won't link Fox News -- but this is the URL for those who care: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/28/us-cuts-carbon-emissions-more-than-foreign-nations-that-criticize-trump-environmental-policies.html
  • meanwhile,  Axios doesn't even mention the US
