Multiple sources indicate we are now living through an unrivalled drop in carbon output. While these energy sources have transformed the world, the carbon seeping into our atmosphere has driven up global temperatures by just over 1C since the mid-1850s. They could rise by 3-4C by the end of this century if CO2 levels aren't savagely reduced.

Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
A wide variety of factors have an influence on the level of GHG emissions in Canada. Globally, about 78% of GHG emissions from human activity are from the production and consumption of energy. This includes activities such as using gasoline for transportation, non-renewable electricity production, oil and gas production, and heating and cooling of buildings.
In Canada, over 81% of emissions come from energy. Canadians use more energy due to our extreme temperatures, vast landscape and dispersed population.

Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs)
Protecting the environment and growing the economy go hand in hand. Taking action on climate change means reducing emissions and increasing climate resilience, while helping Canada diversify its economy and generate well-paying jobs.
Key Facts
In 2017, 82% of electricity in Canada came from non-GHG emitting sources
Energy consumption grew by 26% between 1990 and 2016
Energy efficiency improved by 31% between 1990 and 2016
Investment in clean energy technology was over $3.3 billion in 2017
