New regulations that cut sulfur emissions from ships have reduced cloud formations that cool Earth’s surface, potentially contributing to recent increases in global temperatures.
I’m not American. I don’t know much about the history of the body, who runs it or whether leadership changes under different administrations. I also do not know the scientists and whether they are completely state funded or there is industry funding anywhere (on this, or on previous or future research papers). I’m asking questions. I looked at the paper and usually it has a section on conflicts of interest, even to state that none exist. I couldn’t see that section on this paper.
For future reference: they’re the weather guys. They’re probably the least-bullshit part of the federal government, in close competition with the Post Office.
Even under The Idiot, they were the ones crying foul when he scribbled on one of their maps.
So first cutting airline emissions increases global warming and now cutting ship emissions does it?
It’s like someone is trying to get a message out that cutting emissions is bad for the planet. Are we being gaslighted? Is this industry FUD?
… on NOAA.gov?
During an administration that doesn’t doubt climate science, no less

With ships, they’re talking about sulfate aerosol emissions, rather than greenhouse gas emissions.
