Is there a souce for that?
It doesnt seem consistent with this one
https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-from-transport
but this is limited to CO2 emissins, so i'm wondering what type of emissions are being counted is there any data on that.
I had a quick look at the "all GHG" data in EDGAR and that also seems to shows road transport quite a lot larger than shipping.
But I'd need to spend a bit longer looking at the data to figure out if i'm using it correctly.
Could it be based on Particulate matter emissions??
PM emissions don't do much if anything to directly intensify climate change - not like GHGs
Yeah it really doesn't seem to track with my knowledge in regards to shipping efficiency. AFAIK those big ass container ships are on par if not more efficient than a train.
