    That’s common misinformation you’ve heard. Sure, the global footprint of cargo ships is very high. But if you look at the CO2 per ton-kilometer, even the dirty ships are 20-30x more efficient than brand new airplanes.

    Ships emit a lot globally because they carry an insane amount of cargo around. There’s just no way whatsoever to carry as much on planes.
