I wouldn’t describe them as “3 areas that matter most” — shipping and aviation are only part of transport
Note that this chart only runs through 2020
Hazmatastic ( @Hazmatastic@lemm.ee ) 1•5 months agoNice insight, thank you. I wonder if the electricity industry uses is under the industry umbrella or the electricity and heating umbrella. Separate entities of course, but I’d be interested in seeing how electricity consumption compares from industry to consumer sectors.
Not in this chart. I’ve seen national inventories which distribute electric sector emissions out to the consumers of it

Wasn’t it 2028 when the carbon budget for 1.5 °C runs out? And 2050 or so for 2 °C? Lol
The dates on which budgets run out depend on the rate at which we continue to extract and burn fossil fuels.
Future projections depend enormously on policy. Change policy, and those curves change.
sinkingship ( @sinkingship@mander.xyz ) 2•5 months agoYou are correct with both points. I merely wanted to point out, how far we are from reaching the Paris Agreement.
1.5 may or not be a little later than 2028. The fossil consumption lines may or not be a little flatter.

Led me to discover many interesting places on the way, although became isolated from a society which treats jetting about as standard.
By the way, article a bit simple, agricultural sector also has challenges to reduce emissions. MachineFab812 ( @MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•5 months ago… each of which is its own massive chunk of the pie.
