This is actually really bad as far as emissions are concerned. The emissions from transportation of oil alone are massive, outweighing all other emissions from overseas transport.
Container ships lower earth average temperature by 0.3 °C via SO2 emissions. That’s why the IMO limiting sulphur content of bunker fuel was a bad move, which could catapult us above 2 °C.
Not yet, no. Even at the rate things are changing now we’ve got 20 years before any apocalypse scenarios. We should be working to avoid those at all cost. Even those caught up in the worst of it can flee to areas less affected.
it should balance out somewhat–the u.s. exports are roughly the same as its canadian imports; unless they do something really stupid like increasing what’s already historic production levels to make up for the loss of canadian imports.

Really interesting, thanks for the read.
Countries have largely abandoned the climate change initiative for a while, a video by sabin explains it well
I’m not sure what value this comment adds to the conversation.
It’s stating a point that is unfortunately true. It’s important to know.
All is lost, friend.

Every emission now will cause suffering later.
