The climate cult is destroying international shipping … and global supply chains along with it
03/24/2023 / By Ethan Huff


The ratio of crude tanker capacity currently on order to crude tanker capacity currently in service has plummeted to an all-time low of just 2.7 percent, this due to pressures from the global warming crowd to “decarbonize” the shipping industry.

Because the writing is on the wall concerning the use of earth-based fuels like oil and gasoline – the climate change brigade wants these made obsolete – the owners of tankers that use such products are holding out on ordering new ships until it becomes clear the direction the “clean” energy industry is going to take.

“To decarbonize shipping, you either need an onboard carbon-capture system (which doesn’t exist yet) or to build new vessels that burn something other than fuel oil,” reported Greg Miller, writing for Freight Waves.

Wait until California bans ships from docking that don't meet their emissions requirements...

They have already banned trucks over three years old from hauling the freight away from the docks.

That supply chain backup caused a lot of cargo to move through Mexico, and that likely helped the fentanyl pipelines..

We have reached that critical mass of stupidity where one failure of policy leads to multiple other failures in a chain reaction.
