                Aerosols from ocean shipping cause a significant negative climate forcing

                Studies of the DLR-Institute of Atmospheric Physics with a global climate model published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics recently show a high impact of gaseous and particulate emissions from ocean-going ships on maritime clouds.

                Comparing Fuel Consumption, CO₂ and Other Emissions from International Shipping and Aircraft: A Summary of Recent Research Findings

                Regulating transport emissions requires comprehensive knowledge of the present day fuel consumption and emissions, their potential future evolutions, and mitigation options. Recent studies by the German Aerospace Center DLR and by the University of Delaware in the United States of America (USA) reveal converging estimates of current ship emissions...
