If this process of turning a whole fish into packaged fillets occurs in China, the cod fillets are declared “Wild Caught Product of China” upon import into the United States. Yes, the fishing industry is to blame for shipping caught fish from USA to china and back, and the whole thing is very absurd.

That’s talking about pollution in general rather than greenhouse gas emissions like the post I was responding to. When it comes to CO2, personal vehicles emit several times more carbon than the entire global shipping fleet.

  There's a difference between being manufactured in china, and being manufactured in usa, sent to china, where they pack them in a box, and sent back to USA
