Oceans' Sulfur Emissions Significantly Enhance Climate Cooling
A new study reveals that oceans may cool the Earth more than previously thought, due to sulfur gases like methanethiol emitted by marine life, which create aerosols that reflect solar radiation. This discovery suggests that climate models have overestimated solar radiation reaching the Southern Ocean, highlighting the need for more accurate models. The research emphasizes the role of oceanic sulfur compounds in climate regulation, potentially impacting climate change policies.
