I guess the new law reads "Can't release sulphur into atmosphere", so the shipping companies were thinking of ways around that. Why not say "Can't release … into environment", which would cover air, sea, ground, space and everything else around us?

They definitely should dump it outside the environment:

There was need for a Snopes fact check for that? Strewth.

LOL does Snopes fact-check skits now?

Because people will take jokes as reality. See Storm Area 51.

In which case it should be labeled as a joke, not "false". And Snopes has a satire tag for this purpose.

They should fact-check Rickroll bait, too!

there should be a some kind of spirit of the law wording in addition i think.
