Almost at the bottom it gets around to this: Which says: "Here’s where things get esoteric. As of January 1, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) put a limit on the sulfur content in shipping fuels, reducing the global upper limit on sulfur content from 3.50% to 0.50%. This policy is referred to as IMO 2020. Here is a link to an article describing this change. This reduced limit was mandatory and led to over a 75% drop in the emission of sulfur oxides. While great for the environment in many respects (e.g. less acid rain and ocean acidification), there was also a not-so-unexpected consequence." A little more explanation and discussion of some other possibly contributing factors follow what I quote above. BTW, bostonwalker, you owe me, but I'll try to return the favoe at my earliest convenience. It took me at least a half hour of digging through my history to find TFA. If I had a link, I would have included it. And, BTW, it would have been OK to list me as a source on your doctoral dissertation. Although I am getting old and have a hard time remembering, I am widely known to be very reliable, particularly when I'm right.
