Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Warsaw (23.9 kg, 21.0 °C) to Brno (284 kg, 21.8 °C) buys 0.8 °C more warmth for an extra 261 kg — 326 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
August answers differently depending on what you're after. The sunniest destinations from Stockholm in August are a different list — the brightest places are not always the hottest, and in winter the difference is large.
