Shipgaz – Shipping is reducing the speed of the global warming by its emissions of NOx and SOx, even so a reduction of these emissions is necessary, writes Jan Fuglestvedt, of the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research Oslo (CICERO) in a study published in Environmental Science and Technoilogy.
Anyone who thinks it is a good idea to continue with shipping’s emissions is advised to think otherwise by the scientists.
”Hence the available evidence suggests that “climate cooling” by continued shipping emissions of SOx would not be advisible.”
The reason for their conclusion is that the cooling effects from SO2 are much more short lived than the heating effects produced by CO2.
