Re: [Manycouches] New blog post: Towards a net zero IETF

(I would prefer this discussion on admin-discuss since it’s not not a shmoo thing but I expect I’m pushing water uphill in asking for that)

No.  The latter is one mechanism of many for estimating emissions, the former is a calculator that is based on a set of standard estimate drawn from multiple sources.

No.  See https://ghgprotocol.org/ghg-emissions-calculation-tool <https://ghgprotocol.org/ghg-emissions-calculation-tool> for more details.

No.  Any measure of general (or even specific) levels of air pollution in a particular area cannot be used to calculate the level of emissions because these are open environments not closed laboratories.

No, this is about CO2e emissions.
