Prelude

In this blog, we cover the life cycle analysis of transportation choices and related infrastructure, delve into the externalities of road cargo hauling as well as railway transportation.

Externalities?

In this series of climate and environment blogs, I want to talk about transportation and the externalities that come with it. But first of all, what are transportation externalities?

COVID 19!

How is everyone doing under the threat of COVID 19? Although living in China with relatively low counts of positive cases, the extent to which COVID 19 has impact my life is still substantial.

On the Road

England truck drivers have been through a really rough time recently, after a new mutation taxa of COVID 19 has been identified within the UK.

Possible Good News?

After two full weeks of disturbing news (in terms of both daily life and externality research), I am attempting (at least) to bring our readers with some good news.

Transportation and Biodiversity

This week I am talking not about how COVID 19 is impacting transportation, but how transportation is impacting something else - biodiversity.

Deicing Externalities

This week, the focus of this blog is another negative externality usually overlooked: deicing.

Making Roads Greener?

Long has there be talk about all sorts of geoengineering options to "save the world". Some of them are practical but can produce only minimal effects, such as making rooftops reflective or most simply, to plant more trees.

What About Railway?

So far this blog has been talking about road transportation a lot. What about railway then?

Conclusion

At the end of this series of blogs, I would like to first thank all my readers for following these small pieces of text.
