      Cruise ships make up such a tiny percentage of overall emissions. They’re horrible on a individual level, but there just aren’t that many of them compared to other sources.

      Meat production on the other hand makes up something like 17-18% of ALL global GHG emissions.

        I heard cruise ships and freighters are the biggest offenders. Nearly 40-50% of emissions.

          Throwing freighters in there like that is a bit sneaky lol The amount of freighter traffic must dwarf that of cruise ships. Anyway, people on cruise ships are mostly not particularly rich. They’re pretty much just water-borne holiday camps.
