- Ships navigating around the Red Sea due to ongoing security threats from Houthi rebels are contributing to carbon emission surge.
- Instead of passing through the Suez Canal, vessels have opted for the longer route around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope since mid-December.
- This diversion has resulted in approximately 13.6 million additional tons of CO2 emissions over the past four months.
- This is equivalent to the pollution generated by about 9 million cars during the same period.
