Just casually browsing Reddit when you see your study.

This might be my favorite gingerbread man we decorated.

The cohorts with the highest life time emissions depends on which emissions pathway we are on. Generally, higher emissions scenarios = younger cohorts with higher lifetime emissions and lower emissions scenarios = older cohorts.

On one hand, its true that older cohorts have clearly had more time to emit CO2 emissions than younger generations. On the other hand, younger generations could be emitting more over their lifetime due to higher baseline, societal emissions.

I came across this meme while browsing on Reddit about a year ago and after chuckling about it for a moment I wondered if it were true.

Amazingly, the data is split between named villages (metropoleis) and unnamed villages, allowing an unprecedented examination of historical fertility among ancient equivalents of urban/rural. We find that urban women (TFR: 3.4) had lower fertility than rural women (TFR: 8.6).

Here's something very similar but with a ternary animation and using the SSPs rather than the UN projections!
