This report makes some business-as-usual assumptions. E.g.
"Growth".
And they forget that 40% of global shipping is of fossil fuels.
And that countries like the US are re-shoring industries (see CHIPS act).
Together, we still have choices.
Let's make the right choices: on our plates, what we buy, whom we vote for.
"Global #shipping firms are looking for ways to lower their carbon footprints, particularly as the International Maritime Organization (#IMO), which regulates the global shipping industry, is being pushed to implement a charge on the sector's greenhouse gas emissions."
"None of us like the fact that we are burning dirty fuel. But no authority is answering what the best fuel is."
@CelloMomOnCars I spent some time canvassing for signatures on petitions in support of Mass Senator Mike Barrett’s carbon fee and rebate bill years ago. I was so passionate about it because it just made so much sense. I genuinely saw it as a way of at least opening the door to meaningful action at the state level. $10/ton wasn’t asking much but you know how it goes.
