Here we look at trending out forecasted purchasing power GDP and emissions. The average world CO2 emissions growth has been about 1.29% per year as an average over the last ten years.
GDP PPP is in billions.
Emissions are in millions of tons of CO2.
GDP PPP is from the IMF statistics and forecasts.
Emissions are from the British Petroleum annual report.
IMF has calculated about 4 to 7% GDP PPP growth from 2007 to 2017 and is forecasting about 5-6% gdp growth.
BP calculated an average CO2 emission growth of about 1.3% growth per year.
World PPP GDP is doubling from 2007 to 2020 and the emissions increase by about 20% at the same time.
