However, one scientist said a repeat of the Great Depression of the 1930s would see emissions falling by 35%. Opinions are also divided as to if the rising emissions from developing nations, such as China and India, are likely to more than offset any decline in developed countries.<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&quot;What we&#8217;re seeing in a number of countries is slower growth rather than a decline,&quot; Yvo de Boer, head of the UN Climate Change Secretariat, told Reuters. &quot;It would be a pretty depressing way to make progress, to find that recession was helping the world to kick an addiction to burning fossil fuels that spur rising greenhouse gases.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A drop in the demand for energy has resulted in a recent oil price crash that may discourage a shift to greener lifestyles. Motorists may drive more in aging, polluting cars because they cannot afford new ones. Since 1970, greenhouse-gas emissions have increased by about 50% and are currently predicted to rise by almost half again by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/environmentNews\/idUSTRE4B254L20081204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full story<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<meta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"><br \/>\n<meta content=\"Word.Document\" name=\"ProgId\"><br \/>\n<meta content=\"Microsoft Word 11\" name=\"Generator\"><br \/>\n<meta content=\"Microsoft Word 11\" name=\"Originator\">             <\/meta><br \/>\n<\/meta><br \/>\n<\/meta><br \/>\n<\/meta>\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delegates to the United Nations climate talks in Poznan, Poland, said that the global financial crunch may slow greenhouse-gas emissions, Reuters reported.
