I heard cruise ships and freighters are the biggest offenders. Nearly 40-50% of emissions.
You heard wrong.
Throwing freighters in there like that is a bit sneaky lol The amount of freighter traffic must dwarf that of cruise ships. Anyway, people on cruise ships are mostly not particularly rich. They're pretty much just water-borne holiday camps.
