163,318 truckers risk losing their CDLs when the FMCSA's new Clearinghouse rule takes effect in November. Here's what it means and how it impacts the industry.
Sulfur-emitting cargo ships might have been our inadvertent geoengineering heroes in an unexpected twist to the climate change narrative. As these ships release sulfur clouds, they act like gigantic sunshades, reflecting sunlight and cooling ocean waters. But a 2020 UN regulation resulted in 80% less sulfur emission, which some scientists believe led to the recent spike in Atlantic's summer temperatures. While these reflective clouds seem promising, some experts warn against deliberate cloud creation due to unpredictable consequences. The debate over geoengineering continues, with the White House exploring the pros and cons of this approach. Meanwhile, private companies experiment with sun-reflecting technologies, with European Astrotech even successfully delivering sun-blocking aerosols to the stratosphere.
pretty crazy: - container ships burn fuels that emit a lot of sulfur - the sulfur seeds clouds, increasing the reflectivity of earth, cooling it - new climate rules in 2020 limit sulfur emissions by cargo ships - a lack of ship-clouds may explain anomalous heating this year https://t.co/Z65WWL06l1
Hi! I'm Adriana and I've been working for FreightCaviar as Head Writer for a little over a year now. Some of my favorite topics to cover are FreightTech, Green Freight, and nearshoring/reshoring.
Over 57% of consumers are ready to shop greener to reduce environmental impact. As regulations tighten, companies must update their logistics strategies.
