That's great and all but the lowering of sulfur emissions from ships has recently been blamed for the consistent high temperature records across the globe due to less sun being blocked by those emissions. Be careful what you wish for?

>"Sulphur particles contained in ships’ exhaust fumes have been counteracting some of the warming coming from greenhouse gases. But lowering the sulphur content of marine fuel has weakened the masking effect, effectively giving a boost to warming."

Let's put that in context: we cut back on sulfur emissions because acid rain is terrible.

I don't believe anybody has suggested this policy was a mistake.

Sure acid rain is terrible, but warming oceans seem far worse. If the oceans warm enough, the methane trapped at the bottom releases, and goodbye habitable planet.
