Shout out to the oil, meat, and shipping industries - Lemmy.world

Shipping? Shipping is about 2 % of global CO~2~ emissions.

Large ships emit a lot of sulphur oxides (SO~x~). E.g. cruise ships emit more than all cars of Europe. SO~x~ is not a greenhouse gas, but it’s a nasty pollutant nonetheless.

International shipping - IEA

In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization agreed to reduce GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared with a 2008 baseline, with carbon intensity reduction targets for 2030 and 2050.

shipping is also trucks dude… and all the other nasty ways we move products around the world…
Trucks, like cars are on a transition to become EVs, with Tesla leading the industry there as well. Of course people will then complain regarding lithium and other bullshit, hence why I think we should stop listening to extremists.
Lol, trash reasoning. “Extremists” that want to start building communities that dont require you to drive everywhere. Just because evs are slightly better then gas doesnt mean its good.
So… what’s your solution? Everyone using public transportation?
Everyone walking or biking.

So… you have no solutions?

My guess would be for EV everything. Plant trees in the city roads to lower the average temperature, the countries themselves should create tax incentives for people to move out from overcrowded cities as well.

But sure, easy to just end personal vehicles all together right? People like you are the reason our politicians are so shit.

Really not a choice, carbon emissiosn have to stop. EVs dont do that. Urban trees are not going to revese climate change. Wow, you’re saying people need to keep lowering denisity.
