The reason why they are using the Panama Canal is because there isn’t enough capacity at any American port on the West Coast. If additional port space gets built, it will likely be in Mexico, which has relatively poor rail access to the USA.
You know, I bet oil companies would try to sell a transatlantic truck tunnel as being good for the environment and cost effective way to transport stuff.
How many of the people they surveyed agreed with climate politics because it was on record?
We see politicians and celebrities talk about helping the climate, then get on their private jet for a 40min flight cause they don’t want to sit in traffic for 1hr.

In this case we get a double whammy of reduced consumption and pain.
They’ll probably use trucks to transport the goods instead…

That is the whole point of the study. People support measures but think people don’t.
Agreed. Although i’d rephrase that:
Until the economy is hit, nothing will happen.
