4 years ago Hey @laem , I think it would make sense. The dataset includes estimates for both fossil emissions and land-use changes. For now, I only used fossil emissions from EDGAR (the EU JRC dataset), as I thought they are the most 'tangible' emissions that can be acted upon (and I assume the data-uncertainty is a bit smaller than for land-use change fossil emission estimates, but I don't know them well enough to make such a statement..).
It would be interesting to integrate the Global Carbon Project data, maybe both fossil and land-use change (to make the distinction visible), and - from your other ideas, comparing it with the consumption based national data. That would be nice! I note all these down for a future "release" :)
Related to emission inventories, this recent paper (+ twitter-thread summary) from Robbie Andrew might be of interest, comparing all the different fossil carbon emission datasets that are currently available and pointing out the differences between them and between national reporting for the UNFCCC (with the famous "CRF Tables"). He also points out the importance of the data to calculate global (and national! :) ) carbon budgets.
@floriandierickx peut-on utiliser les données décrites dans cet article pour mettre à jour le fichier data.csv ? https://www.lemonde.fr/blog/huet/2019/12/04/368-gigatonnes-de-co2-emis-en-2019/
Ou ces données sont-elles incompatibles, à cause d'une méthode différente ?
Il semblerait au vu des augmentations en 2018 et 2019 que le message de "emissions-budgets" ait été rendu légèrement trop optimiste.
