Analysis: How low-sulphur shipping rules are affecting global warming - Carbon Brief (www.carbonbrief.org)
Low suphur shipping rules might be exacerbating global warming (www.carbonbrief.org)
The unintentional consequence of lowering sulphur content in marine fuel, as part of clean air regulations, is a weakened cooling effect caused by sulphur particles in ships’ exhaust fumes, according to a new model. This inadvertently exacerbates warming, potentially raising global temperatures by 0.05C by 2050. Other factors,...
