I think it's fascinating - and horrifying - that he tracks everything except his environmental impact on the planet.
He has to be in the top 1% of polluters, given his obsessive flying and consumption of technology.
Dozens if not hundreds of charts, depicting every single thing except the thing that is destroying our world.
I filed an issue on his github.

- avgcorrection 4y agoFun fact: British Petroleum coined the term “carbon footprint”. It had gotten to the point where it couldn’t deny climate change. So it was time to get well-meaning middle class folks to blame each other instead of the petroleum industry. (See also in recent years the obsession with plastic straws and plastic bags.)
- Theory42 4y agoAgreed, the metrics he uses for CO2 consumption via flying are misleading: he compares the flying against total average CO2 production per US Citizen per year. Clearly, he's doing more than just flying in his life, so the comparison is meaningless.
