People are finally taking note of the amount (which is growing) of greenhouse gases emitted by shipping (https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/transport/shipping_en). Maritime transport apparently generates about 2.5% of all emissions but these have seemingly escaped attention in climate change agreements until this present time. It is striking to note that shipping reportedly generates around the same amount of problematic gases as Germany. There seems to be urgent needs to incorporate marine transport in climate change agreements and to develop technologies to reduce emissions from this source.
