"Dramatic changes in energy industry and EVs reducing fossil fuel use, but shipping, aviation and industry a long way from net zero"

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/09/biggest-fossil-fuel-emissions-shipping-plane-manufacturing

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 firms are looking for ways to lower their carbon footprints, particularly as the International Maritime Organization (), 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."

This sector urgently needs a carbon price.
(But who will raise it?)

Wow, there is talk of a worldwide #CarbonPrice.
For one sector, #shipping. But still.

"Campaigners said growing support for the world’s first-ever global #emissions levy meant it was now more likely to be adopted by the IMO next year.

A proposal put forward by Belize and some Pacific Island states at the talks called for a levy of $150 per ton of carbon.

Delegates at the IMO are next expected to hold talks in the fall."

@CelloMomOnCars would be excellent to extend it to aviation fuel

@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.
