Global carbon dioxide emissions hit a record high last year at 34 billion tons, with China still topping the list of greenhouse gas producers, a German-based private institute said Nov. 13. The Renewable Energy Industry Institute (IWR) said that the total amounted to 800 million tons more than in 2010, with China accounting for 8.9 billion tons — far more than the U.S. tally of 6.0 billion tons.

The study found that after a brief dip in 2009 due to the global economic crisis, the upward trajectory had resumed.

After China and the United States, India came in third with 1.8 billion tons, followed by Russia with 1.7 billion, Japan with 1.3 billion and Germany with 804 million.

Among the top 10 countries, only the United States, Russia and Germany reduced emissions in 2011 compared to the previous year. (AP)
