As much as I like Weatherguy 2020 ... The Admiral's math is right ... as far as he goes with it ...
A tack-and-tape sailboat with canvas sails has a low carbon footprint ... milling the lumber and harvesting the flax ... operations would be carbon-free but very unreliable and this time of year, in the North Atlantic, very dangerous ...
This yacht our darling little ugly toad is on is anything but low carbon footprint to manufacture ... and she's burning diesel to motor across, God knows how many escort ships and helicopters are running burning bunker fuel and avgas ... not to mention all the ships carrying the press ... then add all the carbon pollution to broadcast her day-to-day movements all around the world ... this is just another carbon-intensive solution to climate change ...
The sad part is she could have stayed home and sneered at world leaders over the internet using only hydro-electricity ... like my comment here today ... granted, there was an extremely high carbon footprint made back in the 1930's ... but these hydro-dams are still in great shape 100 years later and should last several more centuries ...
