Yes people always like to point out that shipping causes more overall pollution than cars, and they are not wrong. But VLCC oil carriers are not hanging out on the Thames in London, or downtown LA, and they have horrendous pollution problems. So what is causing that?

We're all car geeks and love our big loud engines, but that doesn't we have to defend the car on absolutely everything. Ships cause more worldwide pollution. Cars cause it where people actually live.
