I see the EPA has pie charts for the standard IPCC sectors and for economic sectors. I want to do a pie chart for economic sectors for another country where I know the figures for IPCC sector. Any idea how I can convert from IPCC sector to economic sector? I could not figure it out from the EPA website. How does the EPA calculate the figures for economic sectors do you know? Or should I ask them directly? Chidgk1 ( talk) 07:01, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
JetGreen40 - you seem to know a lot about the USA - do you know whether this "economic sector" measurement is some USA specific thing or if not how can I calculate it for another country where I have the IPCC figures? There is info at https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector but that only goes up to 2016 and I have not yet found out how they calculated it. For example how do the EPA work out that "commercial" is 6.9% of the total? Chidgk1 ( talk) 11:06, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
I've added new sources and information in the "Mitigation" section. I'm happy to go ahead and remove the update tag unless anyone else would like to add further updates. JetGreen40 ( talk) 22:12, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
So as the social cost of carbon does not cover damages to other countries https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/12/trump-judge-biden-climate-metric-greenhouse-gases presumably other countries would be within WTO rules to impose a carbon tariff on US exports? Chidgk1 ( talk) 12:26, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Maybe one of you Americans could add details of how it is calculated? Chidgk1 ( talk) 12:41, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
I am proposing to move all the mitigation content to climate change in the United States to make it more consistent with the structure we are using for the other climate change in country X articles. Also the climate change in the United States does have a section about mitigation already, so now we have mitigation content spread over two articles. See also here for the proposed standard structure of the articles in the group "climate change in country X". Pinging User:Chidgk1. I've also just proposed the same at the China GHGE article.
