Are Huge Cuts in CO2 Emissions Attainable?

U.S. CO2 Emissions 2003
Source	MMT	% of Total
Electric Generation	2,279	39%
Gasoline	1,141	20%
Residential	381	7%
Commercial	237	4%
Industrial	1027	18%
Transportation (Excluding Gasoline)	738	13%
United States, Total	5,802	100%
Total greater than 100% due to rounding and some overlap of gasoline usage by industry and commercial. Source: Emission of Greenhouse Gasses in the United States 2005 by DOE Energy Information Administration. MMT = Million Metric Tons

The above table shows the source of CO2 emissions in the United States.

Stabilizing CO2 in the atmosphere requires cutting CO2 emissions by 60% worldwide. IPCC wants 30% reduction by 2030.

Attached report explains why large cuts in CO2 emissions may be unattainable. pdf

Current information on CO2 Emissions

The chart at the left show CO2 emissions in 2003.
They went up slightly in 2005 - 2007, then went down due to the recession so that currently they are only slightly higher than in 2003.
The percentage by source has remained the same.
While coal fired emissions have decreased by 4% from roughly 50% of emissions from generating electricity to 46%, emissions from natural gas generated electricity have increased by 4%.
Meanwhile China's CO2 emissions are now approximately 20% greater than U.S. emissions.
