ABSTRACT: The prediction of carbon emissions is one of important basic work of developing targets
for emission reduction. The paper proposed a forecasting method of carbon emissions based on cloud
model. Firstly, the carbon emissions for energy consumption in China are calculated according to ‘China
Statistical Yearbook’ (1995–2010), ‘2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories’.
On this basis, the predicting model of carbon emission ...
