Climate, COP26. By my tree Climate debates forget the main decision maker of CO2 emissions, the consumer. The Credit Suisse “Treeprint” study attempts to model the impact of Western lifestyles, to translate it into reforestation needs. States did not all shine in Glasgow during COP26. But the major absentee from climate debates remains the individual responsibility of the consumer. Credit Suisse's calculations are cruel to the Western lifestyles of the ultimate CO2 emissions decision maker. His “Treeprint” study models the impact in terms of reforestation needs: twelve birch trees for a steak and fries, thirteen eucalyptus trees for two café lattes and 400 trees for a distant two-week trip in a five-star hotel. EDITO-COP26: lessons from failure The "ideal" consumer in the eyes of the Paris agreement would only make a short plane trip each year, would not drive more than 5,000 kilometers per year, and would give up red meat, beer and coffee. The good news is that 120 trees would be enough to offset its emissions. Always better than burning a candle.
