Wait, how do ships eliminate their CO2 emissions?

If burning bunker oil produces CO2, as I would expect it does, then obviously all of the CO2 is not coming from cars.

I understand making 'broadly true but strictly speaking flat wrong' generalized statements, but to do that in the same breath as criticizing somebody for making "garbage claims" seems... I don't know, worthy of note I guess.

A ship, burning 1 litre of bunker oil produces about as much CO2 as a car burning 1 litre of gasoline, but tens of thousands of times more NO2 and SO2.
