There was a hank green video about this a year back. Video link here, the tldr was that container ships used to use a type of fuel that was both bad for the environment but also really good at cloud seeding. More clouds shielded the oceans surface from the sun, artificially reducing its temperature. But in 2020 regulations made container ships move to a fuel that didnt seed clouds as much, so fewer clouds, higher temperature.

So i guess one potential take away from that, if its right, is that the temperatures are not “suddenly” getting worse, but rather have been artificially depressed and we are only now going to what it should be.

If you’ll forgive the “platform formerly known as twitter” link: https://twitter.com/i_code_memes/status/1442078927896281090?s=20

Is this something thats actually in the reddit ranking system. I.e reddit will activly push posts/comments from high karma accounts higher? Or just that high karma accounts tend to get more upvotes, etc ?
