Worth to emphasize that the article is set in the 2018, and this already happened!
Regulations to reduce poisoned pollution at sea were imposed in 2020 by the United Nations’s International Maritime Organization (IMO). Those poisonous clouds used to increase solar reflection at sea which apparently reduced warming by 0.1 watts per square meter, something that wasn't considered in climate predictions for the coming decades (and is now contributing to dramatic deviations in existing global climate models).
Here's an updated article from late-2023 about it:
