The oil that burns in large cargo ships is so cheap, so full of sulfur dioxide, that they seed massive white clouds that are visible from space. We have been accidentally geoengineering the Earth for decades now. The Good: they temporarily reduce the earth's temperature; The Bad: the rain is sulfuric acid.

Morning thoughts from Vitor are great 👍
Why is it good to reduce Earth's temperature?
Because without the SO2 things start to look like this 
Why is that bad?
Geological history shows temperatures many degrees Celsius higher than at present (eg Hippo bones in the Thames)
Because billions of people weren’t living on earth, especially coastlines during other geologic eras. It’s not bad for the planet. It’s bad for our species
You're considering costs and not benefits
Warmer temperatures would free up vast tracts of land for cultivation in Russia and Canada, as well as reduce weather-related death, as well as enhance plant productivity via greater rain & CO2
Pretty sure more ≠ better with plants. More C02 and water likely isn't better for plants, just like water and oxygen being good for humans, but excess of either is detrimental.
No, infinite CO2 would not be good
But current atmosphere is 400ish parts per million ie 0.04%
Greenhouses pump in CO2 to 3x that or more - because it's good for the plants
Why cargo ships don't use nuclear power is beyond me
If I had to guess.. regulation, oversight, cost of skilled labor, easier to just burn the fuel. 🤷🏼♂️
Sad but mostly like nothing but easily cleared hurdles, like most things.
Pff accidentally... sure, keep on believing this ... 😏😂
I have loved sulfuric acid since childhood
sulphur from combustion is a really bad pollutant of our earth
Yeah, but you are zoomed in on shipping lanes. Zoom out.
Anyone telling you to be afraid is practicing priestcraft... Even if they believe their own dogma.
Just saw the Vlogbrothers on YouTube talk about it. Was an interesting/sad watch. https://youtu.be/dk8pwE3IByg
Thats where I got it from :)
