flag Jim Ratcliffe's claim of falling global emissions due to slowing population and rebounding manufacturing is unsupported by UN and energy agency data showing rising population, uneven manufacturing, and increasing emissions.

flag Jim Ratcliffe, a prominent British businessman, made claims in a recent speech about global population growth, manufacturing output, and greenhouse gas emissions. flag He argued that population growth has slowed and that manufacturing is rebounding globally, leading to lower emissions. flag However, data from the UN and international energy agencies show that global population continues to rise, manufacturing output remains uneven, and emissions are still increasing, particularly in developing nations. flag Ratcliffe’s assertions about declining emissions lack support from current global trends.
