From #OWID: "#Deforestation is no longer inevitable"

#Data seems to indicate that when the pressure subsides, the forests recover.

Deforestation is no longer inevitable

In the past, forests around the world were cut down on a massive scale. We lost some of the world’s richest ecosystems.

Ich spiele ja gerne mit den Chart-Funktionen von #OWiD herum, weil ich die sehr gelungen finde.

Hier ein besonders aussagekräftiges Beispiel zur Entwicklung der #Stromerzeugung nach Erzeugungsart seit 2000 (erzeugte Menge, nicht installierte Leistung!).

Should be a goal that everyone has access to temperature-controlled environment (though not an #SDG, closest #SDG11). But old-fashioned #AirCondition units are grossly inefficient, pumping heat and humidity onto the street, making it someone else's problem. #OWiD ourworldindata.org/how-can-the-...

The 20 year lag is quite something. It tells a story. That's some patience, before seeing the impact on the population at large!

"Smoking was a 20th-century problem. [..] it became steadily more common. By the 1960s, it was extremely widespread: on average, American adults [bought] more than 10 cigarettes every day."

Smoking: How large of a global problem is it? And how can we make progress against it?

Every year, around eight million people die prematurely as a result of smoking. But there are things we can do to prevent this.

“Setting a net-zero target is great – the earlier the better. But there’s a risk that countries fixate too much on the end goal, and don’t care about how they get there.” #owid #ourworldindata #hannahritchie https://open.substack.com/pub/hannahritchie/p/net-zero-delay?r=5ah19&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Net-zero: it’s not just where you end up, but how you get there that matters

Delaying emissions cuts makes climate change worse, even if countries reach net-zero in 2050.

Catching up on #30DayChartChallenge, I guess this one combines the last 3 days themes: #OWID, hazards, humans.
I like how the smoother helps see the overall trend of ozone recovery since the Montreal Protocol was adopted and how the bootstrap confidence interval reflects recent variation. Puzzled/concerned by the low 2020/2021 values, though.

Since I was already making these figures, might as well submit them for the #30DayChartChallenge Day6: #OWID.

CO2 emissions by regions and countries. Made in #Stata using the #treemap package (https://github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-treemap). One of the hardest ones to code but it's pretty solid now.
