Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Houmt Souk (459 kg, 14.7 °C) to Safi (698 kg, 15.5 °C) buys 0.8 °C more warmth for an extra 239 kg — 298 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
