The average global temperature hit a record high on Monday, July 3, 2023, reaching 17 degrees Celsius.

A BBC report states that several scientists explain these figures are the highest in any instrumental record since the late 19th century.

The intense heat is attributed to a combination of the El Niño weather event and continued carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Researchers believe that the El Niño event will further increase global temperature records.

The rapid increase in global land and sea temperatures has been a concern and focus for researchers since the beginning of 2023.

Unusual weather events have occurred in several parts of the world. These include record spring heat in Spain and many Asian countries, followed by marine heatwaves in unusual locations such as the North Sea.

Even last week, China experienced a prolonged heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius in several areas.

Despite being affected by rising global temperatures, China is considered one of the world's largest contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. What is the trend of its emissions contribution over time?

A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that the trend of China's CO2 emission contributions has generally increased over the past 20 years.

From 2000 to 2020, the IEA notes that China experienced only two periods of emission decline, one between 2015 and 2016.

In 2015, CO2 emissions were recorded at 9,133.35 million tonnes (MtCO2), down from 9,238.46 MtCO2 in 2014.

In 2016, emissions reached 9,114.2 MtCO2, lower than in 2015.

Significant emission increases occurred between 2010 and 2011. The IEA reports that China's CO2 emissions rose from 7,830 MtCO2 in 2010 to 8,569.03 MtCO2 in 2011, an increase of 739 MtCO2 in one year.

Emissions soared further from 2013, exceeding 9,000 MtCO2. The IEA's latest data shows that emissions in 2020 reached 10,081.34 MtCO2.
