This is an amazing story about the impact of sanctions and conflict! It is a story of world gone crazy!
Two #LNG carriers passing by each other. The Russian is going south then around Africa to Asia instead of Europe. The Qatari is going north around Africa to Italy instead of going to Asia or through the Red Sea.
“There is no business model to be made selling LNG to anybody, anywhere!”
Somebody, somewhere in Canada.
” – And, in another story; a recent study holds that world climate scientists have greatly underestimated the amount of CO2 plants absorb. The study suggests that plants absorb 31% more CO2 than climate models predict, indicating not only that Mother Nature is one-third better at absorbing CO2 than thought, but that climate scientists, and the models they’re using to predict Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming, are not nearly as accurate as they, and our governments and Mainstream Media, have led us to believe.”
– And I’m really, REALLY shocked about it, in case you hadn’t noticed my underlying sarcasm: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/10/29/oops-science-was-settled-until-it-wasnt-plants-absorb-31-more-co%e2%82%82-than-we-thought/
So do the oceans:

“So do the oceans…”
– Yes but all this extra ship traffic going the long way around continents will stir up the oceans and shake all that eeevil CO2 out of the water, and then we’ll all die of global warming. I think that’s… umm… maybe?… what he’s trying to warn us all about what will REALLY err… umm, maybe, kill us? – it’s hard to figure-out exactly what he’s trying to say, or what point (if any) he’s trying to make…

Do if oceans and vegetation sink more than thought, why doesn’t the airborne fraction decrease?
Carbon balance tracking my ass. They’re lying to claim it’s worse than thought.
If the ship leaves Qatar I don’t think it would navigate through the Red Sea to get to east Asia. Would it?
It isn’t the world that went crazy. It’s the Americans. The syphilis from all the Diddy sex parties finally got into their brains I guess.
L- The Suez Canal lowered the cost of shipping significantly. Thus increasing the wealth of: producers, consumers and transport/shipping companies. Both the developed and helped
the undeveloped world become the developing world.
That a rag tag group of terrorists, funded and directed by the Islamic Republic of Iran signals
a breakdown(temporarily?) of international commerce. Some argue that the dark ages in
Europe was due to the rise of jihadi piracy in the Mediterranean and coastal Europe. This was
ended when British naval supremacy created a Pax Brittania. Which post Ww2 was replaced
by Pax Americana, something self-subverting now in a chaos of The Clash of Civilizations.
Ironically, while great powers dither in circles. Little Israel seems to be the only nation willing
and able to provide an attitude adjustment, step by step, to the rogue state of the Mullahs.
To be continued…
Yup. I miss Ronnie.
Now that the Americans are producing most of their own oil why should they patrol the seas for the benefit of Europe?
Coz they in the LNG game too.
Forget Nordstream2?
CO2 is not a problem.
