European researchers said Thursday that the the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time. That is the limit governments said they would try to limit global warming to at a 2015 summit in Paris.

    In those cases, if it’s an option, there are also trains to consider. Depending on the length of the trip, that can even be a major improvement to quality of life.

      I know that trains aren’t always an option, especially in America. But if you can some train journeys can be really beautiful, especially across Europe and it’s a much slower way of seeing places.

        Trains also become a non-starter if there’s a significant body of water such as an ocean between you and your desired travel destination.

          People are literally saying “if it is an option”. We know you can’t take a train over the ocean.

      Show me a single train that goes across oceans. Also don’t mention ships lol because I will tear you up on that point as ships burn literally the worst fuel imaginable for the environment.
