The 7 largest container ships give out more pollution than EVERY car on the planet combined.

I really wish this misinformation would die. That claim only applies in terms of sulfur oxides, which cars don't emit in any appreciable amount. It's like saying trucks don't pollute because a single cat produces more cat poop than every truck in the world combined, as long as you define pollution solely in terms of cat poop. In reality, road transport accounts for seven times as much CO2 emissions as shipping.
