I'd love to know how much that percentage fluctuates with seasons, but on a global scale. Does summer in Australia compensate for winter in America, and vice versa, so that the sum is still 40% throughout the year?
Definitely not. There's much less land mass in the southern hemisphere, so there's also less utilisation of natural energy. Speaking as an Australian we're also not super great at embracing the whole renewables thing so that definitely comes into it too lol.
We emit the same level of CO2 via coal mining as the USA. And we're increasing that every year

We're the WORST in the world per capita.
Fucking shameful.
Coal billionaires are getting more money tho, so who’s to say if it is all that bad.
Yeah, at least those billionaires are able to exploit the natural resources to gain more money each year. I guess we should be thankful for that.
