Global warming: Fuel efficiency will strengthen our hand

摘要

Fishing has been good to Erling Skaar, and now — like many others in the industry — he's turned his prodigious energies to an enterprise that helps vessel operators cut costs and reduce CO_2 pollution, a grave threat to the sea that feeds us.
