Study finds reduction in Sulphur emissions from shipping has led to acceleration in global warming

1. old news – TLDR the sulphur made the smoke stacks emit a more reflective blanket cloud than without the sulphur additives. Likely just hiding the problem for extra few decades.

2. Sounds awful but at what point do we consider putting the “dirty diesel” back in the boats until we figure something else out?

3. Correlation is not necessarily causation

4. and yet the clowns in the eu classify natural gas as “green energy”

5. The key message is that it may lead to a global short term temperature increase of 0.04 degC or a positive raditive forcing of 0.13 W/m^2 by 2050. these aerosols are short lived so the findings for 2050 are unlikely to change for 2100. This is an overall small increase in temperature. For comparison, the range of radiative forcing by 2100 ranges from 2.6 W/m^2 (optimistic scenario) to 8.5 W/m^2 (worst case scenario)
