Where the curve breaks

The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Gandia (9.9 kg, 17.5 °C) to Bizerte (203 kg, 18.4 °C) buys 0.9 °C more warmth for an extra 193 kg — 214 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
