Yeah but if I'm not mistaken, emissions from shipping are quite low anyways. It's something like 2-5℅ of all our emissions, so it's pretty low priority.

all freight traffic is a pretty significant dent, i think the net total for all of transport is something like 15-20% of total emissions, so.

I think he just walks rather than being shipped.

No, no. He travels on war ships I am told.

Ships need gas inside to keep the dihydrogen monoxide at safe levels

to be perfectly clear, this probably wouldn't help much, since we would likely just move to shipping something like hydrogen across the ocean anyway...

Hydrogen is just worse natural gas. They crack natural gas to produce hydrogen, and its fucking terrible. Hydrogen creates about 4 times more CO2 than diesel, simply by how the vast majority of it is manufactured

Hydrogen isn't about energy production, it's about storage
