Have you ever read a greenhouse gas inventory?

@evan
Yes, because in Germany we’re constantly having debates about various sectors. The transportation sector, in particular, is getting special treatment from our gas-guzzling government, and this means we won’t meet our climate goals.@beandev That's awesome to hear!
-
@evan is that the greenhouse gas part of a lifecycle analysis?
-
Have you ever read a greenhouse gas inventory?
@evan The number of "no" is disheartening.
-
Have you ever read a greenhouse gas inventory?
@evan only because my brother works on models for agricultural emissions, and I've looked at some of his work

@evan yes, I’m the one who does our GHG inventory at my work (a regional public university)
-
@evan ah, so it's not
accounting of all GHG per product/service/… emitted in the lifecycle together with other, ideally exhaustive, environmental indicators,
but
accounting of only GHG emitted by a country/city/… (ignoring other indicators) and includes natural sources/sinks and measured over e.g. a year and can be based on production (what a country makes) or consumption (what a country uses, possibly made in other countries, relevant for many rich countries importing a lot)

@evan then my answer is no, but I skimmed over some and read only the results.

@themediumkahuna thank you for that!

@grob that seems pretty legit! You can get a lot of information from a top-line scan or an executive summary.

@tarix29 agricultural emissions are tricky, too!
