WASHINGTON The amount of heat-trapping contamination the world ejected rose once again last year by 3 percent. So scientists state it's now extremely unlikely that global warming could be limited to a few degrees, which is an international goal. The frustrating bulk of the boost was from China, the world 's biggest carbon dioxide polluter. Of the planet 's leading 10 polluters, the United States and Germany were the only countries that lowered their carbon dioxide emissions. Last year, all the world 's countries incorporated pumped nearly 38. 2 billion loads of carbon dioxide into the air from the burning of nonrenewable fuel sources such as coal and oil, according to brand-new worldwide computations on global emissions released Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. That's about a billion loads more than the previous year. The overall quantities to more than 2.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
