39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3): Power Cycles · Day 3 · Saal One
In this compelling talk, independent researcher Hanno Böck exposes the significant challenges and alarming inaccuracies prevalent in publicly available greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data. Addressing the critical issue of climate change, Böck delves into various international and European data sources, demonstrating how information that should be transparent and easily accessible is often hidden behind technical barriers, plagued by errors, and poorly maintained by responsible authorities. His investigation reveals a systemic problem where critical environmental data, intended to foster accountability and inform climate policy, is unreliable, hindering effective action.
