Carbon emissions hit a record last year, but rapid growth in renewable energy kept the increase from being far bigger

• Global carbon emissions rose in 2022 from an increase in air travel and coal power, a report found.
• A spike in clean power like solar and wind kept the growth in emissions from being worse.
• But emissions from fossil fuels are still too high, the International Energy Agency says.

Global carbon-dioxide emissions hit another record in 2022, but the increase wasn't as bad as it could have been because of the strong growth of solar and wind power, as well as other renewable-energy sources.
