> Don't tell me that transport energy that is mostly from burning fossil fuels doesn't have insane environmental costs
Why don't tell you that? Have you ever looked at the energy needed to transport full cargo containers? It's not a lot. You could fully internalize the cost by using renewable fuels and it would still be cheap.
> all that burnt shipping diesel is similar to the pollution of the world's cars
That's looking at a couple very specific pollutants, and could be fixed with a relatively tiny cost if there was enough political will.
