Some good news from the fight against climate change.
Bobby Magill reports: "The amount of coal, oil, gas and renewable energy used by the global economy is falling quickly, a clear sign that economic growth is having less of an impact on climate change than in the past, according to new data from the U.S. Department of Energy."
"Globally, energy intensity has fallen 30 percent since 1990, and about 2 percent between 2014 and 2015," adds Magill.
Magill includes soundbites from Penn State University climatologist Michael Mann, who describes why that information is such good news. Mann also reports that "carbon intensity is also decreasing due to the rapid transition that is now already taking place away from fossil fuel burning toward renewable energy."
The article describes in more detail how the energy and emissions of the global economy are evolving.
