I don’t see mention of the recent changes in shipping law, and how boats traveling near the Arctic circle (and spewing emissions) had a cooling effect. Is there any truth to that? They’ve reduced the amount of Arctic shipping and the world heated up; this is what commenters predicted. I wonder why I don’t see articles mentioning the phenomenon.

This article doesn't mention COVID at all (not surprising given the 2018 publication date but I checked for edits and there are none). Do you have a source citing that shipping has decreased in the arctic post-COVID?

Kind of, though it's pretty localised. > They’ve reduced the amount of Arctic shipping Eh? Where are you getting that? Arctic shipping has increased _dramatically_ over the last decade. > and the world heated up; this is what commenters predicted No-one sensible predicted this. At most people might have claimed that if you cut shipping in the arctic dramatically (which hasn't happened) then there would be _localised_ warming. > I wonder why I don’t see articles mentioning the phenomenon. I think because it's something you half-remembered; it's based on a false premise (arctic shipping is increasing, not decreasing), and the effect isn't as big/global as you seem to think.

I don’t want or have time to write fully researched opines. On message boards you will find comments are speaking to something true but are not well researched because of the inherent format and time commitment of the writer. There is a great deal of Alpha online and not everyone is going to give you 5 bullet points with all the articles backing up their position. You’ll miss out on correct angles if it takes you a book report to realize the book is good. ‘No one sensible could have predicted this’ There are lots of smart people beside yourself who see things you don’t, abs make great sums of money on their guesses. They don’t need to convince you to care when you seem more motivated to find out why you shouldn’t
