According to https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikescott/2019/06/28/shipping-s...

> Shipping accounts for up to 3% of global emissions and 10% of transport emissions – roughly the same as aviation

Shipping emissions equalling aviation emissions is surprisingly high, to me.

The volume of sea cargo is far higher than air cargo.

That was all aviation, not just air cargo.

OT: This website is on a new (to me) level in the cookie wars. After I "change my preferences", which is already hidden behind purposely confusing wording, it has to "save my changed preferences", with a progress counter, that seems to get stuck on 90-something percent for a long time, with a big, handy "cancel" button visible.

It's hard to interpret this as anything other than maliciousness.

It is about per ton emissions. Ship tons >>> aviation.
