Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Tozeur (243 kg, 25.4 °C) to Assiut (593 kg, 26.3 °C) buys 0.9 °C more warmth for an extra 350 kg — 389 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
