Abrupt reduction in shipping emission as an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock produces substantial radiative warming

T. Yuan, H. Song, et al.

Discover groundbreaking research by Tianle Yuan and colleagues that reveals how drastic reductions in sulfur dioxide emissions from international shipping in 2020 have inadvertently influenced climate dynamics, potentially doubling the warming rate of this decade. Their findings highlight a strong hemispheric contrast and suggest innovative geoengineering methods like marine cloud brightening.
