Mixed bag though. Sulfur dioxide emissions from that was acting as cloud seeding which was reducing the ocean temperature pretty significantly since clouds reflect heat. However, now that we know that the cloud seeding was having a cooling effect we can use much better sources for that if we are to do that sort of thing some of which being very much doable and not using harsh chemicals. One method being sprays that can be installed on a ship spraying sea water and the salt crystals suspended in the air acting as points to seed clouds which can be cheap to install, are cheap, and not damaging to the environment as far as we know.
