However, the reduction of global emissions in 2008 from lower consumption and industrial output might bring some breathing space.

不管怎样，由于消费和工业产出的低迷，2008年全球碳排放的减少或许会带来一丝喘息之机。

Targets include increasing the renewable share of energy output to 20% by 2020, and ensuring that 10% of annual greenhouse gas emissions are "sequestered by forests" before 2030.

这些目标包括，可再生能源产量占总能源的份额将在2020年增至20%；在2030年前，确保每年10%的温室气体排放“被森林吸收”。

Current technologies would require between 25-30 per cent of Longannet's electricity output to be diverted into carbon capture if all of the station's emissions were to be cleaned up.

目前的科技要用25%到30%的加尼特电站的输出功率，并且要求所有的电站设施都清洁干净。

Not even a worldwide depression that permanently lowers global economic output and emissions to, say, 1970 levels, would stop CO2 concentrations from rising over the remainder of the century.

Right now the U.S. economy is "decarbonizing, " that is, lowering the amount of carbon emissions per dollar of economic output, at a rate of about 1.5% per year.

Furthermore, there is a positive environmental impact as natural gas from shale, for example, produces roughly 50% of the carbon dioxide emissions compared to coal for the same energy output.
