That’s a very compelling argument with teensy-weensy flaw of not being true. Not even close. The entire martitime cargo sector is estimated at 3-4% of CO2 emissions, whereas land transport is closer to 10%.
Yup! Source I have from 2016 has it even more unbalanced than your numbers. All shipping is 1.7% vs all road transport at 11.9%. Wish I had more recent data but their claim wouldn’t be true even if those top ten ships represented the entirety of ocean emissions and was tripled afterwards.
