Remember how our gdp is inflated? Well yeah that also skews this figure.
So yes we are a great bunch of lads, but not THAT great.

This is the most distorted misleading statistic ever.
I gave up Guinness in 2013, coincidence?
I think not.
Based on modified GNI it was a reduction of 31% from 2012 to 2021 (based on data published last year)

Bizarre way to present this data, there’s already a metric for this, Carbon Intensity/kWh. It’s dropped from 471gCO2e/kWh in 2013, to 254gCO2e/kWh in 2023, which to be fair is still 46%.
A big reason for the most recent drop in emissions is that electricity coming from interconnectors counts as zero carbon electricity, as those emissions are already accounted for in another jurisdiction.
