Ships actually contribute more to climate change than 'planes do.

And there are no passenger ships from Europe to Australia.

i dont wanna take a cruise ship, but a cargo ship or so.

"Ships actually contribute more to climate change than 'planes do"

that is totally wrong. a flight from e.g. berlin to sydney and back causes about 12.000 kg of CO2.
going by ship (i dont mean cruis ships but ferrys of cargo ships) is much more environmentally friendly.

12.000kg per person, of course.

Some freight ships carry a few passengers, see website below. Have only seen a couple of newspaper articles so don't know much about them. I would think the extra greenhouse gas generated by a passenger on a freight ship would be close to zero!
