Which makes danes one of the biggest hypocrites on planet earth.
- tajen 10y agoWe won't solve global warming by finding the hypocrites. We'll solve it by knowing the problems and resolving them (or, if we don't want to work 1 problem after 1 problem, imposing taxes on petroleum usage or gas emissions, but history shows that such laws never get through).
- woof 10y agoYou'd find the biggest hypocrites among all the consumers buying goods shipped around the world on those ships.
- flexie 10y agoDanes are not 'one' but 5.6 million, they don't all share the same opinion on the environment, on shipping, or on Maersk. But I agree that Danish governments have succeeded in making Denmark appear much more environmentally progressive than is generally the case and that is a form of hypocrisy.
- holydude 10y agoNot only that but look at their taxes and tariffs for cars. That is hilarious!
- macmac 10y agoOnly until you compare the environmental impact of shipping / ton / km to other transport modes - at which point you realise that modern container vessels is by far the most environment friendly transport mode.
