Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Tortosa (26.7 kg, 14.4 °C) to Alzira (277 kg, 15.9 °C) buys 1.5 °C more warmth for an extra 250 kg — 167 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
