Greenhouse emissions reached record levels in 2020, even with pandemic lockdowns

Emissions rise from the Duke Energy Corp. coal-fired Asheville Power Plant in Arden, N.C., in 2018.

The U.N. meteorological agency says despite a decrease in emissions due to reduced economic activity during COVID-19, CO2 and other warming gases continued to accumulate in the atmosphere.
