Today's Guardian briefing on #CruiseShips

* European cruise ships alone emitted more sulphurous oxides than 1bn cars in 2022, creating huge pollution in cities where they dock.

* Cruise ship CO2 emissions in Europe rose by 17% between 2017 & 2022, reaching the equivalent of 50,000 flights between Paris & New York.

* A single ship can emit as much diesel exhaust as 34,400 idling lorries to power operations while docked.
