[RD] Daily Graphs and Charts II: Another 10,000 to come.

Hong Kong - Taipei and Copenhagen - Oslo surprise me.
 
The latter makes more sense if you consider that there's mostly no other good way to get anywhere in Norway. Apparently half of the 10 busiest air routes in Europe are within Norway, due to the same reasons (although I'd need to check again to back this up).
 
Those numbers are a bit stunted due to general travel restrictions and limited travel.

A lot of those figures can be easy to argue, say by picking particular airports.
Tomorrow, Saturday there are seven flights to Copenhagen from Oslo, but there are probably a couple more from the cheaper airport an hour away.
From Dublin there will be 31 flights to London, but they are spread between the 5 London airports so won't show up as much on a pairing.

There are just a lot of Chinese :dunno:.
You'll not find an Andorran or Luxembourgian civil war on that scale.
Yeah, that and being an entity for ~3000 years.

Canada, Iceland and Norway are also known to have energy intensive industries like aluminium and other arc furnace processes (e.g. Acheson). They do have those industries due to cheap power beeing available due to plenty of hydroelectric power generation.
IIRC Iceland has also switched ist's ships from Diesel to hydrogen.
 
France encourages electric heating etc as it generates a lot of power from it's nuclear plants.
 
I'd rather ask what's up with South Korea...?
For the top scorers, I guess the excess consumption is due to heating/cooling with electricity... ?
I suppose with SK shipbuilding is probably a very energy-intensive industry
 
World bank has a page for the world population change for 2020, they kind of go out of their way to stop you getting a good image and I cannot be bothered to make my own, but below is a screenshot. The US as a whole is 0.4, about a third of the way up. Moldova at the bottom with -1.7 is not much of a surprise, but what is wrong with Curacao (second lowest at -1.6)?

I accidentally reverse image searched this, and google thinks it is "destinations royal air maroc".

Mapping Methane Emissions from Fossil Fuel Exploitation

gas_gfei_2016_lrg.jpg


The amount of methane in Earth’s atmosphere has reached record levels in recent years. One of the major sources of emissions is the extraction, storage, and transportation of oil, natural gas, and coal, which results in the release of about 97 million metric tons of methane gas each year, according to the United Nations (U.N.). In a recent research project, scientists mapped where those emissions are coming from—not just by nations, but within them.
