From the mountains to the sea is today's view into our world. In the first picture, the mountains of the Puy de Sancy range, after very recent, late spring, snow. In the second, approaching the coastline of County Wicklow this morning, not far from the now partially decommissioned Arklow Bank Phase 1.
Transitioning from one to the other using a mode of transport that by any measure could be described as slow. I would be interested in being able to calculate the carbon emissions of an in total 11.5 hour 2-person car journey in a hybrid vehicle, plus the 19 hour ferry (way under capacity), compared to a 5 hour drive and a 2 hour flight on a full capacity scheduled airline. Even with the wait at the airport, the second mode is doable in a day, the first mode requires nearly 2 full days.
