Oil and gas vs wind emissions in the real world.
In response to yesterday's OGI video of methane pollution there was a request for OGI showing emissions from a wind turbine. Here is a good comparison of emissions from a flare stack vs emissions from two nearby wind turbines.

Earlier this year world’s largest battery-electric ship was successfully launched from the main production hall of Incat Tasmania into the River Derwent in Hobart, Australia.
The ferry carries 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles.

If CO2 emissions go to zero in 2050 (top), the sinks (green) will bring atmospheric CO2 back down (middle), & temperature will stabalise at ~1.7°C (bottom).
Going to zero today will keep us <1.5°C
Constant emissions leads to 2.6°C, rising rapidly thereafter.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Last year Germany produced just 160 TWh of electricity from fossil sources. The last time the number was that low was 1961.

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media?
Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is.
To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.
