People here talking about putting a price on speed and letting the market figure it out - on principle I agree with that approach but climate isn’t the only impact. Ship noise is enormous and for those who haven’t listened to recordings, it would drive a human subjected to it insane. It affects the ability of marine life to navigate, echolocate, and hunt but also subjects them to a torturous condition that we wouldn’t put up with. See https://www.seattlemag.com/article/noisy-ships-affect-orcas-hunting-and-communication https://www.seattlemag.com/article/noisy-ships-affect-orcas-... or numerous other articles on the subject. How do we enact an effective tax to manage the pending extinction of various animals? Is the cost to transit at high speed going to be in the thousands or millions to account for that? Here in the Northwest there are only 70ish orcas left of the local variety (southern resident) and boat noise is a major cause of their dwindling health and numbers. A voluntary speed limit reduction in their main grounds was respected by 61% of boats as part of a trial (https://phys.org/news/2017-09-ships-busy-channel-endangered-orcas.html https://phys.org/news/2017-09-ships-busy-channel-endangered-...) but we need broader ocean-wide solution to noise. I can’t see our culture of instant gratification being worth the permanent loss of flora and fauna.
