According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) the emission of Energy-related carbon has reached a record level over last year.
The energy watchdog says emissions rose again after a dip caused by the financial crisis in 2009, and ended 5% up from the previous record in 2008.
China and India account for most of the rise, though emissions have also grown in developed countries.
At a meeting last year in Cancun, Mexico, world leaders agreed that deep cuts were needed to limit the rise in global temperature to 2C above pre-industrial levels.
But according to the IEA‘s estimate, worldwide CO2 emissions from the energy sector reached a record 30.6 gigatonnes in 2010.
