ICE Cars are NOT the worst global warming polluters. Saying they are is a LIE.

The worst polluters are jet aircraft.
How many BTUs of heat does an engine produce?
It takes about 2,500 BTUs of heat energy to produce one horsepower (this
includes the heat loss out the tailpipe and that absorbed by the cooling
system). Based on these numbers, a 300 horsepower engine would generate
about 750,000 BTUs of heat energy per hour at full throttle.
A little bitty Boeing 737 burns 5,000 pounds of fuel per hour. Aviation
gasoline = 120,200 Btu/gallon. 5,000 * 120,000 = 600,000,000 BTU per hour
crusing.
For you lazy Amazon shoppers, a 747 carrying your crappy Chinese junk
burns 23,625 pounds of fuel per hour. Aviation gasoline = 120,200
Btu/gallon. 23,625 * 120,000 = 2,835,000,000 BTU per hour crusing.

They ship goods by ship from China to the rest of the world. Only

overnight goods are shipped by airplane.
You're complaining about a non-existent issue.
