If Rudolph is "the most famous reindeer of all", why do you have to ask me if I recall? You seemed sure that I know all the other ones... so it kinda seems like Rudolph is the least famous reindeer of all, doesn't it?

We can’t begin to make a dent in our carbon footprint if we don’t know which of our actions are having the most impact. Unfortunately, according to a study published in @pnas.org, a lot of people are massively misjudging the climate impacts of their actions.
