The harms of climate change are real - damages to crops, health, habitation, and the environment we rely on at large - as well as harms that the DOD and insurance industries are closely following. This heavily marketed Koch cop-out that reduces all moral problems to issues of personal virtue is as dumb as saying that abstaining from murder and theft should be voluntary. The harms might be diffused among most of the population at large, but that doesn't make them any less personal or unethical and wrong.

Greta is taking a racing, custom ...Oh sweet Jesus. Greta is taking a racing, custom built sailboat across the Atlantic as a publicity stunt but ostensibly to save energy. How much energy goes into the production of a million dollar boat? To a first approximation, a million dollars worth. That would include the building of the molds, the production of the fiberglass, the air conditioned offices where dozens or hundreds of engineers design the sails, hull, and solar powered engines. After a few voyages, the high tech sails are stretched out and useless and headed for the landfill.<br /><br />I once met Steve Dashew, a boat designer. Dashew switched from sailboats to powerboats in his seventies. He and his wife could no longer supply the sheer muscle needed to handle a seventy foot sailboat. He said the first fillup was a shocking expense but in total, the power boat was more economical by far. Replacing all of the worn out gear on the sailboat was more expensive than buying fuel.<br /><br />Then there's usage. The million dollar sailboat can only make 12 trans Atlantic round trips per year. In practice, fewer since she will be regularly laid up for maintenance and weather. On each crossing she can carry six people or so. The total annual passenger load is about 60 people or fewer.<br /><br />An airliner costs about 100 times the cost of the million dollar sailboat but the airliner can make a round trip almost every day and carries 300 people on each trip. On an annual basis that's 90,000 transatlantic trips versus 60. <br /><br />There are no energy savings in this stupid stunt. Quite the contrary.<br /><br />Bill Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900786056156238523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-67735795079596217822019-08-26T16:35:29.755-05:002019-08-26T16:35:29.755-05:00Is her family flying over?
