    The rapid phaseout of sulphur in marine fuels likely reduced global SO2 emissions from marine fuels by around 8.5MtSO2 per year, to around 2.5 MtSO2 per year. This represents an abrupt decline in global SO2 emissions of around 10% after 2020.

    Given the strong cooling impact of SO2, a 10% reduction in emissions of SO2 will result in additional global warming.
