This is just... wow.

70% of Italians believes that Germany has met its renewable energy targets - although it *hasn't*.

70-80% of both Italians and Germans believe that Italy has missed its renewable energy targets - although it *has*. italia.fes.de/fragile-freund… Image
sorry, it should be "although Italy has *met* them"
These are the targets Image
The second graph is from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable…

Is this "fully automated luxury whataboutism"?

A thread on misconceptions around flying and its climate impact
Playing down the significance of an emission sector because it's just 2 or 3% is *never* a good idea - see paper & thread here
It is *particularly inappropriate* to use that argument for air travel, for many reasons.

1. Air travel is incredibly *carbon intensive*. Perhaps the most carbon intensive way in which to use your time. If you fly, it probably accounts for a very large share of your emissions

Two things can be true at the same time:

1 - vested interests try & frame climate change as a question of individual responsibility *only*

2 - we should still be interested & do something about the very large inequalities in personal carbon footprints
Ignoring 2 just because of 1 would be a very bad idea.

US Transport Secretary #Buttigieg suggested a vehicle miles tax. And so the usual debate goes on between:

A: "are you mad taxing car use is *obviously* regressive"

B: " No it isn't"

So I am reupping a few threads that I wrote about this question
Thread 2
A few caveats. My threads refer to the European situation. The US is more car-dependent which means that more low-income households drive cars, and over longer distances (but fuel prices are lower).

Overall, this exacerbates concerns about the social impact of taxing car use.

The UK is doing is very well with the vaccines, but is it going to people's heads?

This poll would suggest it is. British respondents rate the UK's performance better than Israel(!) and much better than the US, although the data does not bear that out. kekstcnc.com/insights/covid…
The actual data on the vaccination rate
These matrices are a *treasure trove* for laying bare national stereotypes.

So which countries do Germans think are doing *worst* with vaccines? Well, why, UAE & Italy.

*All* countries surveyed also likely to think that UAE is doing badly. Except this is the reality. 🤯😂🤦‍♂️

Interesting data from an international opinion poll: 11% see car owning *primarily* as a financial constraint / something that is hard to afford
consorsfinanz.de/unternehmen/st… Image
The share of people who see cars primarily as a financial constraint is strikingly similar across countries at around 10% Image
In most countries there is a substantial share of car owners who sometimes give up on using their cars because of the cost of fuel. Particularly among younger adults. Image

You want to get a sense of how difficult transport is for climate mitigation? Go no further than this report.

A THREAD with lots of graphs
Transport is by far the largest sector of final energy consumption in the EU.

20 years ago, industry & residential were close, but both have declined, while transport has increased.
While final energy consumption increased, energy *efficiency* decreased steadily.

So what happened there? Well, travel *activity* increased (with ups & downs due to the economic crisis)
