Sure, you have to solve the problem in multiple places.

But electric vehicles can actually help with some of this. For example, they help significantly with the storage problem for solar, because you can charge your car while the sun is shining and keep that entire load outside of what needs to be generated from fossil fuels.

That is with reference to particulate emissions rather than CO2, and the reason for it is that ships have basically no emissions controls because nobody cares about air pollution in the middle of the ocean. So they burn horrible sulfur-laden garbage fuel with the obvious consequences.

The solutions for that are known -- stop letting them use that fuel, apply emissions controls -- but nobody has bothered to pass that law, because it would cost money. And it's still not a reduction in CO2.
