Reasons being:
- large fall in thermal coal plants, especially in the largest emitter (the USA), where natural gas topped coal for electricity generation for the first time ever.
- Widespread anti-local pollution policies in the second largest emitter (China) also having a knock on effect on carbon.
- the UK's emissions have fallen to the lowest level since the 19th century (!):
