And yet they are part of the obvious low hanging fruit for reducing emissions
Are they obvious? If they account for 2.5%, shouldn't the focus be on something that doesn't produce an emotional response (i.e. planes burn so much fuel! They bad for environment!) But is a bigger contributor to polution?
Ships come to mind. Biggest 5 polute as much as all cars on earth. Yet car electrification is brough on constantly in the discourse, when using bunker fuel on ships is met wirh silence
They are obvious because they are rarely irreplaceable. We can live without mass tourism and fast deliveries.
I mean, we can also live with the 2.5% polution they cause
Not really. People in developed countries need to divide their emissions by approximately ten times. Every little bit helps. And we should start with the easy ones.
