Most of the pollution comes from the ships doesn't it? Not that it stilloant a very efficient way to transport stuff but all this talk of cars when the shipping industry is far larger.
No. I think the animal industry is about half when you measure in carbon equivalent units. Some greenhouse gasses (eg methane) are way worse than carbon dioxide per ton, so you have to convert it to co2 equivalent to see the big picture.
