Merchant shipping contributes around 3% to CO₂ emissions. That is smaller than, e.g., electricity and heat generation, road transportation, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture.
It’s funny that this is always ignored or downvoted when consumers are a relatively small part of the problem. Surely shaming people harder will fix the problem, this time.
