And that could mean decades of additional emissions that are raising global temperatures. Market analysts say that may not lead to a spike in climate pollution since coal plants keep retiring. But scientists say the world needs to move a lot faster to cut heat-trapping emissions to avoid even more extreme impacts from climate change. Michael Copley, NPR News.

The U.S. created about as much climate pollution last year as it did the year before, as emissions rose from buildings, transportation and power plants. That's according to estimates by the Rhodium Group, a research firm. the U.S. will need to make much deeper cuts of more than 7% annually in the coming years to meet a commitment it made under the Paris Agreement to slash heat-trapping pollution.

Plastic's made from fossil fuels, and the industry doesn't want limits on how much it can make. It says the solution is better recycling. But scientists and environmentalists say the world simply produces too much plastic to manage, and that recycling has never lived up to its promise. Attorneys General from New York, California, and eight other states agree.
