Jack of all trades on Nostr: Consumption-based CO₂ emissions per capita vs. GDP per capita show a very strong ...
Consumption-based CO₂ emissions per capita vs. GDP per capita show a very strong correlation.
Notice how the bottom right of the chart is empty. There is not a single country that has high GDP with low emissions.
Perhaps it is impossible to optimize for high #GDP and lower #CO2 emissions at the same time, at least in the timescale necessary to prevent catastrophic #ClimateChange. Nations would do better focusing on other metrics of wellbeing.
