And airplanes emitted more than SUVs.
All these comparisons do not matter: the merely teach us to climate-share eachother into climate-submission (do you buy meat/ petrol/ airplane tickets: eeeew).
We need a fair and square tax on pollution, CO2 just being one factor. This tax could (I would like that) replace many taxes on "good behaviour", like our taxes on labour, home ownership and added value.
We should only tax bad behaviour and/or problematic goods, and tax them as fair as possible based on their bad impact.
Currently petrol at the pump is heavily taxed, but for planes and sea-freight it is not. Labour and housing are also heavily taxed, making a 1h massage more expensive than a whole bin bag full of plastic toys shipped all the way from China.
This is the problem, IMHO: we do not incentivize good behaviour by govt means, but we spread by media that everyone should climate shame eachother. Do you think the super rich (also the super polluters) give a damn?
