An alternative viewpoint on the forecasting of energy-related CO2CO2 emissions in the OECD countries

This viewpoint states that the forecasting of energy-related CO2CO2 emissions in the OECD countries, based on energy consumption, which uses the carbonization index as its indicator, is possibly incorrect. This paper argues that the forecasting of CO2CO2 emissions should be based on GDPGDP—the outcome of human activity and that it should use CO2CO2 emission intensity as the indicator. The results of this analysis suggest that this would be more accurate. This viewpoint demonstrates the above proposition theoretically with the aid of statistical analysis and mathematical simulation.
