The Associate Press reports that in 2010 the world saw a spike signifying a whopping 6 percent increase in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2009 -- and the major emitters are who you might expect. China and the United States account for half the jump, spurred largely by manufacturing's continued recovery from the global economic crisis.
Last year's spike in greenhouse gas emissions were so high, in fact, that they even exceeded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 'worst case' scenario set in 2007.
