The US UK and EU
The CDIAC data shows that emissions in the UK and US are declining. As a whole, Europe's emissions are unchanged, however certain countries in the EU like Germany and France have reduced emissions. The progress in these countries is offset by countries like Poland and some other Eastern European nations where emissions are increasing.
China and India
China and India have continued to massively increase their emissions. Together they now account for a third of global emissions, and both plan to continue to increase them substantially for many years to come. At the current rate of increase their fossil fuel emissions will double by 2020, by which time they will account for over half of the global CO2.
