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.
IEAshipping 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?
