Decarbonizing shipping

If you’re unfamiliar, check out Tony Heller’s YT channel. He single handedly destroys the climate change emergency nonsense.

One of the reason given being the requirement to decarbonize their operation:

I don’t know the proposed Dutch law on decarbonization (??), but I don’t think it says, “Zero emission tomorrow”.
PS> The IMO aim is for shipping to be “carbon neutral” by 2050.

Problem solved, Grandpa Biden is on the case:

I think it is a worthwhile goal to strive for. How to get there is…complicated.

If we put he earth back to the way it was for millions of years, you do know there were no humans on it.
So is the climate change thing saving the earth or modifying nature so we survive?
Are we fighting the inevitable?

Here is more thoughts on the subject from one of the major players in the field:

How is DNV a major player, they dont operate any machinery?

In those millions of years the earth has experienced both very warm and very cold periods.
Sea levels has been higher and lower than today.

Most of those changes has been slow, taking millennials, not just centuries, or even a few decades.

Shorter periodes of changes in climate has also been recorded in ice cores etc. but those have been caused by natural events, like large volcano eruptions, meteor hits etc. which has also left traces that can be detected today.

The difference is the rapid changes in climate that has happened since about 1850 that can only be explained by man made changes in atmospheric CO2 levels.

We CAN NOT turn back the clock, but we CAN limit the effect of our actions, by changing them NOW, starting with individual action by each and every one of us.

sure we can BUT will it do anything?
Even trying to slow mans input to total co2 we need to put several billion tons of Co2 into storage each year.
We are struggling to get 3 million tons into the ground at the moment.
Putting EV’s onto the road is just increasing the short term co2 pollution.
When we see coking coal production drop we will be getting somewhere but thats still in massive demand.
The reality is humans are only putting the Co2 back in the atmosphere from where it came from.

Something is happening but it looks like more hype than a solution to the issue pushed in the media.

PS the planet did have some very quick climate events and thats when any number of huge meteors hit the earth. That risk is still there.

UK Gov. do their part:

You’re gonna love the prison without walls the WEF globalists have planned for the near future, based in no small part on the man made climate change hoax. It’s ALL about control.

Private companies are responding to the challenge as well:

From working for a company selling HFO on the world market to staring one to curb the use of the same commodity is a leap of faith (maybe also in fortune?)

More likely a leap down a nasty cliff of misfortune. Shipping won’t be decarbonized in any of our lifetimes. The fad will be dead, likely by 2025, and shipping companies will return to how it was for the last 100 years.

It is happening, no matter how many negative posts you’ll find, here and on other forums around the world.
Some major players in the shipping business are in the forefront, while others will be pulled along, kicking and screaming.

CEO of CSM Mark O’Neil shares the same opinion but because his single voice of reason among CEOs is so unpopular and so against the current “consensus” many like him refuse to join and support his view .
