If one cup of tea made you produce as much urine as half of all the people on earth, then yes, we should grab you by the collar and confiscate your ungodly cup of tea.
Yes but that's not what the analogy jrockway used is pointing out. Cars put out plenty of pollutants, but that doesn't mean that car sized engines have the same problems with sulphur.
Basically its dishonest because it relies on people understanding cars as polluters - which they are, just not of sulphur - to imply that tankers are unbelievably polluting.
None of this means that I think sulphur emissions aren't a problem.
