By 2020, annual emissions of carbon dioxide will have increased by 50% worldwide, which equals about 3.5 billion tons, according to ExxonMobil Corp. This is because global demand for fossil fuels for cars and power plants will rise by 40%, as populations increase and economies grow. “Between now and 2020 we estimate increases of some 3.5 billion tons per year of additional carbon emissions, so it’s definitely increasing,” says Exxon’s Randy Broiles.

Jeff Franks writes in planetark.com that most of this increase will come from developing countries. “Eighty percent of that number, 80% of 3.5 billion tons, is going to be driven by those developing countries, those economies that are growing at the 4 to 5% range, so that’s where it’s coming from,” says Broiles.
