The United Nations mandated an 80% reduction in sulfur emissions from transatlantic shipping freighters. This reduction has caused a significant increase in sunlight reaching the Atlantic, leading to warmer ocean temperatures and potentially more intense storms. The unintended consequence of reducing sulfur emissions could mean that geoengineering efforts unintentionally mitigated some of the effects of global warming. To counter this, there is a need to explore geoengineering techniques, such as cloud seeding and the reintroduction of sulfur in the atmosphere, to cool the planet.
