It's a useful term because it speaks to the problem it's aimed at, climate, and expresses the uncertainty involved—we're trying to influence a system, but we don't have a high degree of control, like we would in an engineering context. What do we have to offer these billion people? But do you want to sum up what they're doing?

Ships, especially ocean-going vessels, are powered by very large diesel engines that generate a tremendous amount of pollution impacting air quality onshore. One finding was that container ships encountered off the Port of Houston, where no clean-fuel use is required, emitted four times as much sulfur dioxide.

“The National Port Strategy Assessment: Reducing Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases at US Ports” examines current and future emission trends from diesel engines in port areas, and explores the emissions reduction potential of strategies like replacing and repowering older, dirtier vehicles and engines and deploying zero emissions technologies.

But rather than giving into despair, some engineers, policymakers, and activists are pursuing a novel strategy. In the stratosphere, in particular, they’re concerned about the health of the ozone layer and also how this might trap heat in the stratosphere in ways that changes the way that the atmosphere works. That’s the theory.

Marine engines are responsible for the emission of many tons of nitrogen oxide (NO x ), an ozone-forming compound, as well as particulate emissions (soot) into the New York airshed.
