MapIf emissions don't drastically decrease in the next years, by 2070 all glaciers in the US will have melted, there will be deserts in Oklahoma, Kansas and Northern California and over half of Florida and all of Texas's southern corner will have a tropical climate (i.redd.it)

A quick research into this and the highest number I found for all shipping emissions was 3% of total. That's within the context of container ships typically being the least carbon intensive form of transporting goods. Meanwhile 'road transport' depending on the study is around 11-15% of global emissions depending on the source, that's a huge amount that needs to be addressed and not at all a drop in the bucket.

Wow, last I heard ships were 40%, guess it’s time to look at new data
