    someone who’s spent some small amount of time defending articles which are clearly propaganda designed to make people mistrustful of anything “green”

    Fwiw, that’s not the reason I crossposted it. I don’t know the motivations of the original poster.

    that’s the goal of the article.

    While granted, the headline is baity, the final section of the article seems fairly solution-oriented.

      Yeah, I wasn’t trying to attack your motivations specifically. The other poster was the one with a small history of suspicious postings.

      It’s not just the headline that’s baity… the whole framing is a little weird. I don’t think anyone in the modern day thinks of LNG as a “green” fuel. It’s just a fossil fuel. I did look into the ship a little bit, and apparently this crap about LNG being a “low-emission” fuel as compared with diesel was supposed to be a big deal for constructing it, so maybe the article is pointing out a fair counterargument. It just raises my hackles a little bit whenever I see an article which if you glance at it quickly could leave you with an impression, “And that’s why green is fake!”
