minus-squarefusion513 [none/use name]hexbear13·11 months agoKnow what's really depressing... what may explain record warming this year was phase-out of sulfur fuel used in cargo ships 2020. Sulfur emissions into the air kept warming lower than it should have been due to thr "global dimming" effect. https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shipping-rules-are-affecting-global-warming/ So, I guess in a way geoengineering is already occurring... it's just really reckless and unmanaged. Feels bad. 😞 link
