During long-haul flights (which is the case for trans-atlantic flights), planes average about 100g CO2 per passenger-kilometer.
Ocean-worthy passenger ships are frequently in excess of 200g CO2 per passenger-kilometer for basic passenger transport vessels. Cruise ships are much worse even, frequently emitting >400g CO2 per passenger-kilometer.
So, how would boats be better for crossing the Atlantic?
If you think co2 is the only GHG, you’re in for a world of pain. Many other GHGs are emitted, and some (namely nitrogen oxides) especially damaging when burned at a high altitude.
Are you not reading climate science? Or are you only read airline company propaganda?
If you want to claim any counter-argument is some evil company’s propaganda, then please go back to your echo chamber and I am no longer interested in discussing with you. Goodbye.
Let’s see your train cross the Pacific or Atlantic.
Thats boats obviously
Passenger boats are far worse for the environment than passenger planes.
Wow. You need to learn a bit about climate science.

Oh sure I’m “reading airline propaganda”.
