Report on World Shipping's High Level of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
BBC: "Global emissions of carbon dioxide from shipping are twice the level of aviation, one of the maritime industry's key bodies has said."
The report referenced in the BBC article was published by Intertanko: A comprehensive strategy for the reduction of air pollution from ships: "Moves in the U.S. launching unilateral legislation which would limit the sulphur content of fuel for ships in U.S. ports to 0.1% by 2010 has focused minds in the international shipping industry and at the IMO on the necessity of coming up on time with a comprehensive, practical, efficient, strategy to reduce air pollution from ships in the medium term as well as in the long-term."
