I share this story as much as possible when Libs demand more personal taxes from us for their global warming agenda.

So money directed at reducing cargo ship emissions would likely be more effective than at personal transportation.

And if you do want to do something personal, one option is to buy less goods that are at least partially made across the world (aka almost everything), or choose goods shipped with clean energy shipping companies… when they actually exist…

If only they hadn't sold our manufacturing and means of production overseas.

Instead, it is the job of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to negotiate a reduction in emissions from the industry.

I was going to say, possibly an international organisation to regulate the commons of the climate would be good, but that there would be too many pitfalls for it to be viable without the option for people who don't like potential corruption of it to go to other planets, which we don't have nearly enough infrastructure for. Sadly, governments made this anyway :/ . Hello, world government!

<edit>Perhaps it would almost work if it only had authority of the environment and even then, only when net global emissions were over 0, but there has already been a potentially worse and more authoritarian organisation created anyway, so I guess this speculation doesn't matter too much. </edit>

I wish clean energy cargo ships were available; I have looked on sites where one can buy a cargo ship, and none were :/

Man made climate change is a hoax.

Environmental pollution is a disaster.

it would be better to use nuclear power to run these behemots imo

It's not a bad idea, assuming they can get Captains that are general grade officers. None of the drunken Exxon types...

That is a very practical application.

Seriously. We need this!

Also, I'm preaching to the choir, but man made climate change is a hoax.

That's what I think. However...

I was saving this. As I come across things that really belong in a proper sub I file them in a folder. So when I go to make these subs - Animals, Energy, FLOSS, HolocaustSkepticism, Justice, Racialism, RiggedSystems, Scientism, Sex, Vehicles, and VideoEssays - then I'll just pick the one with the most and post them all - after I make sure they're worth posting.

So I haven't watched this yet but it I'm interested. I don't even know if this is about Thorium as a salt or not and that makes a HUGE difference.

This video is great.
Debunking; the debunkers.

I guess I have to watch it sooner than later.
