Is shipping’s ‘clean’ image justified?

[mailchimp_signup][/mailchimp_signup]The reports by BP Marine and a scientific institute in Germany say shipping emits 600-800 megatonnes CO₂ per year, a figure that could rise
by 75% in the next 15-20 years if no action is taken.

Around 90% of world trade involves shipping, but greenhouse gases from ships are not regulated by the Kyoto protocol.
