Let’s follow the science. Cruise ships pollute more than cars. But you won’t see any green politician discuss that. Why? https://www.thedrive.com/news/28469/c

  Because cruise ships do their polluting primarily in international waters and are registered under flags of convenience. They have separate fuel tanks for in western countries' jurisdictions to fulfill the regulations that these green politicians have already passed.

    This sort of non-compliance compliance infuriates me. Any ships with dual tanks should be banned from western waters.

      Then they'll invent one with triple tanks ;)

  But you won’t see any green politician discuss that Do you live in a city that gets a lot of cruise ship traffic? Because in my experience a lot of green politicians are very keen on banning cruise ships.

  That article says nothing about CO2, which is by far the biggest man-made contributor to global warming (and probably what the person above you was referring to)
