The extent (and volume) of global sea ice cover is currently the lowest on record for this time of year, even surpassing last year's outlier. Woah. More sea ice graphics available at zacklabe.com/global-sea-i... - ThreadSky

@gspeng.bsky.social Should we add sulfur back to marine fuel?

Lol. Did you see the paper by JPL grad student showing marine fuel exhaust had a slight impact on LA rainfall patterns?

No, my knowledge on this topic is based entirely on tweets (i.e. I have none).

I've seen people claim that the reduction in seed clouding from removing sulfur is causing rapid ocean warming, but I'm not really in a position to evaluate those claims.

I would assume there's a health trade-off.

Ship tracks were some of the earliest phenomena monitored by spy satellites.
Soot from marine bunker fuel causes ice to melt faster, which we need to avoid
