Hi Olivier!

I love that you want to help people understand carbon consumption. Some points:

1. Volume, not intensity, warms the globe. 2. If you have "no data available" for China, Saudi Arabia, Texas, ... you are missing a plurality of emissions. 3. As I write just after sunrise in California, it shows reddish. California is also, at the decade scale (the scale that matters) a leader in de-carbonizing.

You are measuring the wrong things and showing them in the wrong way to achieve your worthy purpose. I believe you should start over.

Respectfully, Sam
