@infobeautiful Interesting graph, but it's not really shocking. We started using fossil fuel on a large scale roughly 100 years ago when the world population was around 2 billion. Now there are more than 8 billion of using it and we each use more than someone did in the 1920s. @infobeautiful I wrote a blog post about this graph a few months ago! Its a great graph, but it (therefore) deserves an update! (Maybe also interesting for @BartVerheggen) "By now, for people who are currently 30, the percentage will be higher, simply because the annual emissions have gone up since the graph was made." "Evil needs you to doubt yourselves, and humanity. Or it cannot win. And will instead definitely fail." |
@infobeautiful brrrr
