Yes in fact the tragedy of 09 11 ironically gave us a glimpse of just how true this is. The no fly period gave climatologists an unprecedented opportunity to see just what the effects of sulfur emmissions from high flying jets has on our current environment. Sufuric acid has a very high albido value ( reflectance) and is currently doing a significant part in holding back the effects of increased greenhouse gasses. During the no fly period solar insolation values showed a marked increase. Ahh it is ironic that if we were to go to completely sulfur free fuels today, tomorrow our global warming headache would be pounding that much harder. So do we then look to poison the ecosystems with acid rain in order to allow ourselves to go on pumping carbon? lol. ( shakes head sadly)
