For global warming, not every "pollution" is the same. Your argument is definitely not for greenhouse gases, but for other kinds of pollutants.
The container shipping is responsible for 3.5% to 4% of all climate change emissions (source https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/apr/09/shipping-pollution https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/apr/09/shipping... ). All kinds of transportation together produce approximately 14% of all greenhouse gases emissions (source: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emiss... ).
