Reply to comment by GovWorkhorse in [OC] Whose gas is this?! 29 years of CO2e greenhouse gas emissions by elibryan

Sure! Thanks for the note.

  • Left is total emissions for the whole population, over all 29 years.
  • Right values are emissions for a single white-circle "puff..." that is, 10M people from the country, over all 29 years (this is like scaled, cumulative per-capita).
  • So for China, their average population over the 29 years was ~1.3ish billion people, so they show ~130 "puffs." 130 * 1.6 Gt = ~200ish Gt.

Could you explain why the numbers on the left are different from those in the graphic? On the left it shows China has having emitted 212 Gt, while in the graphic it only shows 1.6 Gt of CO2 emissions. Is the 212 Gt for the whole 29 years and the 1.6 Gt for every 10M people?

Just a poor data and stats student trying to understand this data better. Please and thank you!

Reply to comment by TechWorker_AI_Maybe in [OC] Latin America is the 3rd most democratic region in the world, ahead of Asia and Africa. Here’s where its countries stand: by latinometrics

>disband the cartels

you make it sounds like it’s a walk in the park. The cartels are hyper-militarized, extremely wealthy, extremely violent, and have absolute power in the areas they control. If it was as easy as simply “disbanding” then it would have been done a long time ago.

Reply to [OC] Your Dog's Real Age by PieChartPirate

The OP cited a paper that this modeling was based on. It's both in the image and in the comments.

This data was deduced from DNA methylation patterns, which is just one way of measuring age. Maybe another model can be developed also taking into account various factors, such as fertility.
