Since when is 2% of global human CO2 emissions "only"? What single concentrated source has anywhere near such an impact?
Also the problem with the cargo ships isn't the CO2 - considering the amount of work they are doing they are the most efficient transport method we have. It's all about the sulfur emissions which are horrendous.
