Hmm, indication that stuff is not well in Sulphur, OK (hit by a tornado over the weekend) -- curfew put in place two days after the tornado. #Sulphur#OKwx
The #Sulphur, #Oklahoma tornado has been given a preliminary rating of at least an EF-3. Investigations still ongoing to see if rating needs to be increased or not.
Hello chemists! Do any of you have experience of growing #crystals of sulfur? I'm helping an artist to grow some - does anyone have a suggestions for strategies for getting blocks? #chemistry#sulphur#Sulfur#nfernuveru
Air pollution from shipping is down: Yay! But the air pollution turns out to be a Faustian bargain:
"#Sulphur particles contained in ships’ exhaust fumes have been counteracting some of the warming coming from greenhouse gases. But lowering the sulphur content of marine fuel has weakened the masking effect, effectively giving a boost to warming."
This really shows the power of regulation. After its introduction, the global SO2 emissions just plummet.
"This represents an abrupt decline in global SO2 emissions of around 10% after 2020."
The removal of shipping SO2 will give a global temperature rise of about 0.05C, with the first 0.02C occurring in the first few years, so by 2023 or so.
