    They are the most efficient when moving shit accross the globe. But the shear volume of ships moving things accross the globe is problematic. It would be more efficent to produce goods locally. And only use ships to move raw goods that cant be produced locally. Corporations dont because labor in poorer countries can be easier to exploit…

      Sure it is a lot, but not even nearly the scale to what was suggested in that comment. Heating, for example, causes an order of magnitude more emissions.
