Cutting sulphur content wasn't about climate. Why would climate scientists be taking responsibility?

Blasting pollution into the air is generally a bad idea. If it becomes necessary in order to fight warming, it should be done deliberately and with due consideration, not by having a bunch of ships burning dirty fuel.

So, who decides what? What's worst? Dirtier air or a hotter climate? Who makes those decisions? On what considerations?
Those questions sum up one of the great problems of our time.
