US proposes visa restrictions, sanctions against UN members that back IMO's net zero delusion

Large container carriers, under pressure from investors to fight climate change, generally say in public that a global regulatory framework is necessary to speeding up decarbonisation, though some of the world's biggest oil tanker companies said they had "grave concerns" about the proposal.

"The administration unequivocally rejects this proposal before the IMO and will not tolerate any action that increases costs for our citizens, energy providers, shipping companies and their customers, or tourists," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a joint statement.
