"Global emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide are on course to rise yet again in 2013, reaching a new high of nearly 40 billion tons, according to figures released Monday by researchers who track emissions around the globe.
The projected 2.1 percent rise over 2012 figures "is not a surprise at all,"Roisin Moriarty, a research scientist with the Global Carbon Project at the University of East Anglia's Tyndall Center for Climate Research, told NBC News in an email. In fact, "it is a little lower than the value we predicted last year — 2.6 percent."
