Why aren't activists immediately pushing to re-add sulfur? If you see that as bad faith, I guess we don't see the world close enough to discuss

  Because it causes acid rain. Why are you having strong opinions if you don't know basic facts of the issue?

  (I'm not the person who commented before, but) I don't personally know much about the sulfur situation, and your comment plus another user's have made me decide to read up on it later today to learn more. Since your first comment showed a complete lack of understanding / belief of misinformation about climate change, I would suggest making an effort to learn about it yourself rather than deciding to be happy not understanding and dismissing those who are well informed as just having different views on the world.

    Please quantify the economic damage related to the decrease of sulfur in the worlds oceans. I'd love to see the breakout on the impact on Phytoplankton reproduction and the repurcussions on global fish reproduction.

  Because it obviously is just delaying the problem ? And air pollution isn't just about temperature, it's what you and every living thing breath, and it's a factor of ocean acidification which is a major problem... Also: > the 2020 regulations to cut air pollution from shipping is to increase global temperatures by around 0.05C by 2050. https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shipping-rules-are-affecting-global-warming/ https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shippin... Again idk what your sources are but they seem to over simplify things so much that they end up not making any sense whatsoever Here are some things you might want to read, it's much more complex than what the average people debate on twitter and other cesspools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permafrost#Climate_change_feedback https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permafrost#Climate_change_feed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_acidification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_acidification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional_overturning_circulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional_overturnin...
