Global emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels are rose again in 2013, reaching a record high of 36 billion tonnes, according to the Global Carbon Project.
The 2.1 percent rise projected for 2013 means global emissions from burning fossil fuel are 61 percent above 1990 levels, the baseline year for the Kyoto Protocol.
The Global Carbon Budget reveals that the biggest contributors to fossil fuel emissions in 2012 were China (27 percent), the US (14 percent), the EU (10 percent), and India (6 percent). The rise for 2013 comes after a similar rise of 2.2 percent in 2012.
The rise in fossil fuel emissions in 2012 and 2013 was slower compared to the average 2.7 percent of the past 10 years. Growth rates in CO2 for major emitting countries in 2012 were China (5.9 percent) and India (7.7 percent). Meanwhile the US ' emissions declined by 3.7 percent and Europe declined by 1.8 percent. http://www.countercurrents.org/cc201113A.htm
The significance of human mastery of fire in terms of the consequences of enhanced entropy [23] has been underestimated. Human respiration dissipates 2 to 10 calories/minute, a camp fire releases approximately 180,000 Calories/minute, but the output of a 1000 megawatt/hour power plant expends some 2.4 billion calories/minute and nuclear fission orders of magnitude higher, with an increase in entropy on the scale of large geological events.
While complexity increases in conurbations, the rise in atmospheric energy/heat due to the release of greenhouse gases associated with exothermic combustion results in droughts, floods and storms, degrading natural habitats.
It is unthinkable that that a civilization which placed a man on the moon and explored the solar system cannot find the will to protect its own planet. No human tribal, national, religious faith or political system appears to be able to resolve the climate crisis, nor can the rationale of ongoing $trillions-scale wars around the globe, which can only culminate in nuclear war, amount to more than a suicide pact.

CO2 FROM CARBON FUEL BURNING IS ABSORBED BY OCEAN, CREATES MORE ACID OCEANS

SUMMARY
In summary, global warming is still accelerating, although the trend is in the right direction, towards a slower expansion in terms of using carbon fuels. Will we be able to reverse this trend before the tipping point is reached and methane ice deposits release massive amounts of methane that accelerate massive global warming into an extinction level event?
Time will tell, but some climate scientists give humanity only 1 in 100 chance of making it. So far, humans seem to be on the path of committing global suicide due to pressures imposed by short term, profit motivated carbon and nuclear fuel monopolies as well as the individual choices made by billions of people to continue burning carbon fuels and using nuclear power as their primary energy source.
