    I couldn’t help but think there’s no way luxury cruise ships is 3% of global carbon emissions

    Was this your source? https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/blog/maritime-sustainability

    It says “cruise ships and other maritime vessels” which isn’t cleared up anywhere in the article. You have to remember that if this includes container ships it’s fully expected, we all buy shit from across the world all the time.

    This article says the shipping industry is 3%: https://sinay.ai/en/how-much-does-the-shipping-industry-contribute-to-global-co2-emissions/

    So either greenmatch is intentionally rage baiting everyone or they both emit 3% each, sus.

    I really hate misinformation. It’s very easy to rally and hate on the rich but it would be very funny to me if that 3% you said to “get rid of” means you would have to completey change your consumer habits and not only just affect “the rich”

    But yes regardless don’t mistake my comment for defending luxury cruise ships.
