Disappearing clouds are to blame for the \u201ccrazy\u201d rise in ocean temperatures, scientists have warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A policy introduced in 2020 to cut the amount of sulphur emitted by ships resulted in an 80 per cent reduction of the element in the Earth\u2019s atmosphere,\u00a0says The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) demanded that the sulphur content in fuel be cut from 3.5 per cent to 0.5 per cent for all vessels operating worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The policy resulted in fewer build-ups of the element in clouds and less cloud coverage overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this has increased the warming effect of carbon emissions by 50 per cent, partly because the sun heats the seas more effectively when the skies are clearer.\u00a0[Talkshop comment \u2013 those assumptions again].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, the average sea surface temperature reached 20.96C, the hottest it has ever been.\u00a0[Talkshop comment \u2013 media psychobabble].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year it\u2019s been crazy,\u201d Tianle Yuan, an atmospheric physicist at Nasa, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experiment unintentionally engineered by the IMO rules is providing a rare opportunity for scientists to study a geoengineering scheme in action, although it is working in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One strategy called \u201cmarine cloud brightening\u201d, which would see ships inject particles back into the air to make clouds more reflective, could be used to slow global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Diamond even suggested additional particles could be introduced to the clouds to boost cloud density and in turn its reflective properties which would help reverse the current trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claimed his study\u2019s findings suggest humanity could cool the planet significantly by brightening clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
