Link doesn’t say much but it’s still interesting. Wish there were affordable options. Most ships I see like cargo are $140 a day.
$140 a day! I swear I have seen cheaper cruise rates.
This is a really good example of why individuals can’t make a difference, systemic changes are needed.

This is a really good example of why individuals can’t make a difference
Also defeatist and completely not true, billions of people are making an impact every day
But really meaningful differences are penalized instead of subsidised.
We need the conversation to go toward rewarding individuals who make sacrifices like this.
Sustainable aviation fuel won’t fix climate change, though. As long as the fuel is carbon based, CO2 will come out which fuels climate change
Electrical Aircraft are a BAD idea, no matter what muSSk says
We need to get electricity from renewable sources to use for industry, homes, and CO2 filters world wide, and likely let aircraft fly with carbon fuels, I don’t see a viable alternative for that.
And on the carbon sequestration (CO2 filtering), please stop doing that now, it’s not the right moment and quite literally only makes the problem worse. First get everything transitioned. Once that’s done, then you can start sequestering and actually make a difference.
High speed trains when applicable, but there really isn’t a practical way of going to Australia other than flying.
You don’t like long boat trips in the Pacific?
Edit so there’s a tradition of physical proximity for certain things, which don’t make much sense with modern communication.
There’s other things like research, physical work etc. we can make space for people to travel and make long term commitments to locale changes.
Slow travel by boat seems pretty awesome and relaxing. Unless there is bad weather…
