That tidbit comes courtesy of a study by the European think tank Transport & Environment, which looked at 203 cruise ships sailing European waters in 2017. The report also found that besides over-tourism and crashing into ports, there’s a good reason for European cities to dislike cruise ships: they are emitting sulfur dioxide all over the place. If you can’t keep your pollutants straight, sulfur dioxide causes both acid rain and lung cancer. Cruise lines, it turns out, have been dropping the gas all over Europe; the report says Barcelona, Palma Mallorca, and Venice were the cities worst affected by sulfur dioxide emissions. Per the FT, “sulfur dioxide emissions from cars was 3.2m kt versus 62m kt from cruise ships, with Carnival accounting for half that, the study found.” ]]> pollution europe environment via:jm travel doom cruiseships climatechange https://pinboard.in/u:ignatz/b:b181a4fb1fa8/ 2018-03-08T19:42:32+00:00 https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/03/ovens-across-europe-display-the-wrong-time-due-to-a-serbia-kosovo-grid-dispute/ ignatzgrid electricity commerce ha europe power time clocks https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:ignatz/b:fe458c8911b9/ 2012-01-13T20:12:55+00:00 http://bavatuesdays.com/carosello-an-italian-tv-tradition/ ignatz television tv history europe italy childrens https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:ignatz/b:0a3330597d56/ 2010-05-31T06:49:06+00:00 http://richbyrne.blogspot.com/2010/05/exile-and-beyond-essay-on-dubravka.html ignatz writers literature europe croatia yugoslavia politics https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:ignatz/b:12089a79c274/ 2008-07-29T01:05:58+00:00 http://www.loqu.com/citro-n-pirelli-the-seventies-mime-love/blogs/sweet-1449 ignatz cars wtf design europe https://pinboard.in/u:ignatz/b:17c8d01379ac/
