Maritime shipping has to use low sulfur diesel now. I was sure Trump would crap on the agreement, and even if he didn't, supply shortages and technical issues would result in the agreements being ignored.
Then along came that damn virus.
Trump's plate is full, and with less shipping on the seas (and low prices) I am not seeing any signs of panic or sleazy politics.
This will only reduce sulfur, it's aimed at pollution, not climate change. It should eventually motivate shippers to use more efficient engines, but that may be wishful thinking.
