    It’s kind of funny because this is true, but if God came down and changed all logistics to trains and aircraft tomorrow our emissions would rise enormously. Shipping is extremely efficient, we just do a fuckton of it.

      As is, we do it by ship, so hopefully wind-powered shipping and electric cargo ships will be the way of the future for them.

          Yes, if you tried to scale them up to meet ship capacities, but even the idea of that is ludicrous. Container ships are one of the largest polluters that exist, hopefully this technology can reign that in. Their argument sounds like whataboutism to me.
