Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Avignon (27.6 kg, 11.2 °C) to Perpignan (273 kg, 13.0 °C) buys 1.8 °C more warmth for an extra 246 kg — 136 kg of CO₂e per degree. That single step is the most expensive warmth on the whole curve.
The pick of them
If you'd rather have sunshine than heat
