Did cuts to shipping emissions spur more global warming?

Very interesting theory.

Seems to be more evidence for what is termed "global dimming".

Global dimming is accepted as something that happens and can affect the planet, which is why global engineering solutions for climate change have been proposed.

The problem is that the repercussions of these kind of global measures are difficult to predict and could make secondary problems appear. What is accepted is that pollution as a way to cause global dimming is not justified, the huge negative consequences do not outweigh the apparently modest benefits against climate change.

For hundreds of years we have been burning coal to power our factories. The result has not been global cooling, but global warming. To think otherwise is beyond foolish.
