> One container ship sailing from China to Vancouver spews more carbon than I've produced in my whole life It also carries more goods than you will buy/use in your life - I don't think it's an apt comparison. I do agree that big players are the big issue, but I don't think they are the container ships - a random article puts them at 3% of carbon emissions [1]. Cars, car producers and especially oil producers are a much bigger issue than cargo ships. Agrarian policy has a much bigger impact than cargo ships.
