Nitrogen fertilizer usage has helped feed nearly half the global population. But nitrogen emissions to the atmosphere have contributed to acid rain, air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and the radiative forcing underlying climate change.
New international shipping regulations have drastically cut sulfur emissions from ships. While crucial for improving air quality and public health, reducing ship tracks also reduces their cooling effects.
The combination of burned plastics, resins, and wood could affect interactions between smoke and sunlight, potentially influencing climate warming.
