It's a disgrace that so many people voted for ignorance and stupidity
I don't talk to my Kiwi family who voted for the shit government that they now have

Let’s keep the world working as it does now. Nothing wrong with it.
Except it’s on fire but let’s pretend it’s not for like a little bit longer.
The problem is everyone is trying to make everyone else pay for improvements, using tools like this.
And then there are factions within each bloc that use these tools to further their agendas, that may/may not align with making actual improvements, and may be net negative.
As my grandfather used to say "it all depends on who's ox is getting gored".
Just reading the article (if it's to be trusted), international shipping accounts for 3% of worldwide carbon production. First, that means maybe we should put our efforts elsewhere first, to something with a greater percentage. Second, given we know any given ship uses tons of fuel per hour, maybe the carbon metric isn't very useful here.
