Is it a peak, a stutter or just a brief pause? Time will tell.
是高峰、斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的還是短暫的暫停？時(shí)間會(huì)說明一切。
But whatever it is, on February 11th the International Energy Agency (IEA),
但不管是哪一種，2月11日，國(guó)際能源機(jī)構(gòu)（IEA），
an intergovernmental organisation which collects such data,
一個(gè)收集此類數(shù)據(jù)的政府間組織宣布
announced that emissions of carbon dioxide in 2019 which were related to energy
2019年，與能源相關(guān)的二氧化碳排放量
had remained the same (33.3bn tonnes) as the previous year's.
與前一年持平（333億噸）。
Energy-related emissions, which include those produced by electricity generation, heating and transport,
與能源相關(guān)的排放，包括發(fā)電、供暖和運(yùn)輸產(chǎn)生的排放，
account for more than 70% of the world's industrial CO2 pollution.
占全球工業(yè)二氧化碳污染的70%以上。
The stall seems to have been caused by a decline in coal use, particularly in rich countries,
這種停滯似乎是由于煤炭使用量的下降，尤其是在富裕國(guó)家，
combined with an increase in the use of renewable power.
再加上可再生能源使用量的增加所導(dǎo)致的。
As a result of this the CO2-intensity of electricity generation—
發(fā)電時(shí)產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳排放強(qiáng)度——
a measure of how much of the gas is emitted per kilowatthour of juice produced—
一種測(cè)量每生產(chǎn)一千瓦電力所排放的氣體量的方法——
fell by nearly 6.5%, to 340 grams of CO2 per kilowatthour. It had already been falling,
下降了近6.5%，降至每千瓦340克二氧化碳。它已經(jīng)在下降，
but this is three times the average for the past decade. Such declines more than offset the effect of increased electricity production.
但這是過去十年平均水平的三倍。這種下降遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)抵消了發(fā)電量增加的影響。
