A comment on Singapore Says Musk's Electric Cars Are About 'Lifestyle,' Not Climate. Parent comment
Cargo ships pollute more SO2 and NO2 than personal automobiles. Those two gases cause acid rain. Acid rain is a problem, yes.
They pollute a lot less CO2, though, which is the gas that is actually going to kill us if we don't stop emitting it at the rates we emit it today.
A cargo ship is the most efficient form of transport, in terms of CO2/kg/km.
A personal automobile is the least efficient.
