Plug-in hybrids are a massive 3.5x dirtier than claimed, meaning they barely cut CO2 vs pure petrol/diesel
Meanwhile, petrol cars are nearly 25% dirtier & less fuel efficient than claimed

Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy?
It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one.
I show the results in my new Substack post.

Is #borderadjustment, #CBAM a sufficient incentive to join a #climateclub to lever more climate action? We rather see them as one of 5 ways in which trade policy can support the climate agenda. A thread on our Science Policy Forum article (https://t.co/fLW9kkBw3T):
What do we know about the climate impact of the global petrochemical industry and the possibility of mitigating it? Join our webinar on 24 May, 3 pm CEST to hear all about it! https://t.co/5fR016p2Dl
We usually compare energy metrics based on how much is used domestically. We don't adjust for energy embedded in the stuff we import.

We have updated all of our CO₂ emissions data on @OurWorldInData with the latest annual release from the @gcarbonproject.
All data now extends to 2019.
Big thanks to @robbie_andrew for making the annual CO₂ data available in a clean data file all the way back to 1751.
