Given that according to their source 2023 was an all time high I suppose this is going to be NO.

@NicoDelon Iโ€™m a bit confused about the figures for previous years but for last year the GCB says:

The report projects that total global CO2emissions (fossil + land use change) will be 40.9 billion tonnes in 2023.

Extending until data released.

@DismalScientist Just clarifying - is this for the 2022 number, which will be published in 2023? Or the figures for 2023?

@MattCWilson The figures for 2023

@DismalScientist ooooh ok! Going to hold off on my position then until we see OWID publish the 2022 numbers. ๐Ÿ˜„ Thank you for clarifying!

Looks like a pretty consistent upwards trend (barring 2020, which was an outlier for obvious reasons). https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-co2-fossil-plus-land-use?time=1990..latest&country=~OWID_WRL
