Interesting article. Newer numbers (2023) are 37.200 Mt CO2 yearly human civilisation output. “Private” cars count around 10% of that (which to my knowledge includes vans driven by tradesmen and “independent” delivery drivers among other uses, vastly distorting the impact of individual car ownership), aviation between 2 and 20% depending on which “emissions factor” the counting organization attaches to it. The IEA numbers vary between 2-4%.
LOL I feel you. Had my fare share of run-ins with CEOs and today I’m convinced 90% of them plus all of middle management could be replaced by an LLM.
