How much of the greenhouse emissions originate in Europe? How unsafe are the roads? What do people think in the European Union? Often, the answer could be at our fingertips if we knew where to look. In this talk, I'll show a few data sources and ways of using them to satisfy the appetite of those who dare to know.
