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.

Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon.

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):

We usually compare energy metrics based on how much is used domestically. We don't adjust for energy embedded in the stuff we import.

What happens when we do?

In my latest @OurWorldinData article I look at what happens when we adjust for offshoring: https://t.co/2Qz3TDbUj5

Want to measure the EU environmental footprint? Or know how much the EU retains from its exports?

By using #EUmodelling & the new FIGARO database, we could give an answer to these & other questions on economic, social & environmental fields➡️ https://t.co/P44yeOCuOA

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.

Excellent platform that helps to understand net-zero pathways 👏

[Cornelia Auer @CorneliaAuer3]

Interested how industrialized economies can reach #NetZero in 2050? Take a look at the new SENSES module https://t.co/HAKpFdiTHD

Thanks to @intasys & @framoriniii for the brilliant work! #climateScenarios #netzero2050

@BrankoMilan @Econ_Marshall interesting, do you have a source for this? at least on a country basis it is the opposite i.e. rich nations tend to have lower CO2 per dollar.

Removal of atmospheric CO2 by rock weathering holds promise for mitigating climate change https://t.co/m4AvKxFlSv
