Why is improving agricultural productivity crucial to ending global hunger and protecting the world’s wildlife? To increase food production while restoring wild habitats, we must find ways to produce more food on less land. ourworldindata.org/agricultural-p…
The majority of people in every country support action on climate. But most of us systematically underestimate how widespread this support is. 🔗 ourworldindata.org/climate-change… Explore our new article to learn more about why this “perception gap” exists and why it’s a problem

Have you seen our new mini-documentary? It's funny, heart-wrenching and inspiring. Live interviews with Londoners reveal that understanding our place on the global income scale isn't just an exercise in humility, it's a call to action! Watch the full video:youtube.com/watch?v=ekIRVh…
Emissions from just coal in China are staggering: 8 billion tonnes of CO₂ in a year. That's more than a fifth of the world's total annual CO₂ emissions of 37 billion tonnes. One of the most important climate questions is when China will achieve to leave coal behind.
How is it possible that the UK's emissions have declined so much? This is the main reason. The UK left coal behind. The UK's CO₂ emissions from coal are today lower than at any point since 1800.
In the big picture, the world has never been better. But it’s not good enough. And many things still suck. Let’s take the incredible opportunities and privilege we have inherited from our ancestors, and go out there, roll up our sleeves, and build an even better future.

@MaxCRoser Incredibly useful! Wonderful tool for students learning about climate change impacts in different parts of the world.
@MaxCRoser This is excellent and is a step towards the sort of nuance that is required to develop working solutions. A huge amount of the climate change effort has been misallocated because of grotesquely oversimplified and exaggerated communication.
@MaxCRoser @OurWorldInData Ok, that is completely reasonable. Still, gridded data is so good for understanding the "texture" of the world.
@MaxCRoser @OurWorldInData While a wonderful tool, I wonder if having grid cell level data wouldn't be a good complement. Many large or north-south oriented countries will have averages that may be less meaningful than local data.
@MaxCRoser @MarionKoopmans Looks like a fantastic tool to help people correctly estimate the impacts. Too many people either deny it's happening, or overstate how serious it is. Accurate understanding leads to the best policies.
@MaxCRoser @OurWorldInData Incredible piece of work. I naively expected to see more uniformity by latitude, as my impression has been we're told polar regions are warming (much) faster. With consequent ice melts. Great to explore the data this way. As ever with climate, it's clearly complicated!

@Object_Zero_ @MaxCRoser Mostly we use natural gas instead. It’s a lot cleaner than coal, both due to its chemistry and due to combined cycle generators
Or as I put it last night at our panel discussion, strong criticism "has to come from a place of love."
I like the economics culture of pushing people hard to see if their research claims hold up to scrutiny. But it only works if you've established the idea of helping people succeed by honing their arguments. The most effective criticism comes from the people rooting for you.
@MaxCRoser Two things imported from Europe that came to dominate post-war China: coal power and Marxism.
