Doesn’t mean they don’t pollute, but …at least you get something out of it? When American stop buying cheap Chinese shit and Chinese stop buying cheap oil from the Gulf, and when everyone stops buying produce out of season locally …you see where I’m going with this.

Sure! What trains deliver goods across oceans? Or between distant continents?
Oh are we not just measuring distance? Because I don’t see any trucks crossing the ocean either.

And that’s on top of cargo ships using the nastiest fuel IIRC.
Yup, that they do. Even what it’s pegged to for hedging - home heating oil on the Nymex - is somewhat cleaner.
