Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Foggia (25.4 kg, 29.7 °C) to Tebourba (296 kg, 30.8 °C) buys 1.1 °C more warmth for an extra 271 kg — 246 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
