Week 4 - How much more will Earth warm?

The Ship Tracks South of Alaska were fascinating! I was aware that exhausts from aircraft could have an effect on cloud formation but I hadn't considered that ship exhausts could have a similar effect. Small particles are nucleation seeds which lead to the formation of brighter clouds.

It seems likely that particulate pollution from motor vehicles, especially diesel exhausts, may have similar effects.
