We're about to kill an accidental experiment in reducing global warming (2018)

I can already predict the Solution:
1.) Pay additional subsidies for farmers to compensate for the loss / subsidize heating the crops/trees to bridge through the freezing temps
2.) Import goods from further away, increasing the carbon footprint of the produce and increasing overall margin for importers
3.) "Let's hope for better next year"
4.) (optional) Farmers go on strike for more funding, are played against climate protesters
This too is not normal .. but I'll happily swap locations with you for now .. :-)
Regulations to reduce poisoned pollution at sea were imposed in 2020 by the United Nations’s International Maritime Organization (IMO). Those poisonous clouds used to increase solar reflection at sea which apparently reduced warming by 0.1 watts per square meter, something that wasn't considered in climate predictions for the coming decades (and is now contributing to dramatic deviations in existing global climate models).
Here's an updated article from late-2023 about it:
