Rolling resistance has way more of an effect than weight. But that said, I would never trade off durability for weight especially for a commuter/bike touring bike. Punctures are a drag any time but especially when you are carrying a load.

    Forget aging trees. Canadian forests are ablaze basically wiping out any green reductions in CO2 emmissions from industry or consumers. Besides the loss of property, wildlife and hopefully NOT people, it will take a long time for the Canadian Boreal forest to actually be an active carbon sink again.

    The 5 submariners chances of being rescued are very slim at this point but much much higher than the 500 migrants still missing off the coast of Greece who took to the waters not for a joy ride but to escape war and seek a better life.
