There was no sustainable decline in CO2 emission in Finland during 1990-2007. The energy use decline 2008-2009 is based on recession and at least some paper industry factories relocation abroad. The annual changes of CO2 emissions of Finland were in some years 7-20% during 1990-2007. Increase of emissions was 18% in 1996 and 20% in 2006. The peat energy use and CO2 emissions per capita had correlation in 1990-2007.
