What's the most climate-friendly way to cross the Atlantic?

Cunard do seven-night liner crossings between NY and Southampton; how's this compare with your average JFK->Heathrow flight?

I know it's a 'shortest dwarf' thing, I'm just curious.

If there were no freight, the ship wouldn't sail.

Your arguments is the same either way, moron.

The passenger is not the freight the ship is setting sails for, he is just a small side revenue. As stated above, earning 320000$ with containers is the purpose of the ship. Gaining another few thousand dollars by carrying some passengers along is nice, but without the passengers the ship would still sail and carry the containers.

A passenger plane on the other hand carrying 250 people for 500$ each across the Atlantic has no other business to justify the travel than carrying these passengers. Carrying some freight along is nice, but no reason for it to start without passengers.

I don't think you get it, he isn't looking for a solution to global warming, he wants a boomer fantasy of saving the world on his lonesome.

Going vegetarian, riding a bike, hitching a ride on a freight ship all while massive cargoships and big rigs, factories etc. pollute for free unconstrained doing far more damage than he could ever mitigate. He basically wants to waste his time falling for the old tricks companies use to saddle blame for co2 on the consumer.

The answer OP, is simple. Sailing. Vote for a politicians that support outlawing planes, large ships, and other pointless pollution. Globalization will come to an end, we are living in a bubble that will not last forever. Though they may build some really cool tunnels or floating bridges.

Reminder that Boeing's actions weren't just a one-off occurrence because of MCAS that killed 346 people. Boeing had already been caught in a massive coverup of the 737 rudder issues that resulted in the deaths of 157 people in the 90s. Even after they'd been caught once, the fact that they still neglected proper regulation and continued handwaving away real problems tells you a lot about what the company really stands for nowadays.

Also a reminder: Boeing already had similar problems with the 727 airframe back in the bloody 60's; yet still couldn't come up with a better fix that actually took human factors into account.

How often have you broken car mirrors?

Despite how bad the cities are for congestion, their are a lot more jackasses on the roads in the suburbs who won't even check their blindspots.

This year alone i've smashed 3. If you want to drive a 3000lb metal box around like an idiot then i have no compassion

Depended on the division. Essentially, everything from South of Kansas City were oil burners and everything North were coal burners. They got a lot of the steam coal from a mine I believe in Carbondale, Illinois. I want to say a connection was made with EJ&E or the IC to get there. Of course the oil came from OK and TX.
