LONDON, April 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Energy Agency (IEA) has decided to switch its data provider for oil markets to leading energy and commodity price reporting agency

A new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that emissions from fossil fuels, despite 20 years of effort, are going up instead of down, hitting record highs as climate negotiators gather to debate a new global warming accord.

Even as governments around the world have pushed to limit global warming, record levels of carbon dioxide filled the atmosphere in 2010.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned Thursday that a global warming target could be missed three times over if countries fail to promote clean energy.
