That's roughly it. And... What is the pollution again?

Yeah, that goes into the fuel of cargo vessels. And a couple of years ago, they started to implement these mandates that sulfur dioxide no longer be used in the fuel. As a result, when sulfur dioxide is emitted from these vessels, it goes into the atmosphere and it actually triggers cloud formation. So now you have these clouds that are forming. And Nick's going to pull up this image right now.

Yeah, here you can see that. So all of these tracks... are these cargo vessels moving across the ocean. And as they move across the ocean, they create cloud cover, that cloud cover actually reduces the warming in the ocean because it reflects sunlight. So now that sunlight energy gets absorbed into the ocean.

So this is another driving force that some people are now speculating, maybe accelerating the warming of the oceans that we're seeing, which drives this extreme storm and hurricane events. And so this becomes a more frequent event. Now, a lot of people- So sorry, can I ask you a question?

Yeah, so in addition- No, no, I'm asking you the question.

Um, so yes, we are no longer reflecting as much sunlight. And so for several decades, we had bad fuel sources. We had artificial cooling.

Oh, well, the argument is that we've actually been warming the atmosphere, which we have been. We can see the data that shows that everywhere all over the earth, not just about sunlight coming in on the oceans and not just ocean warming. But the atmosphere is warming. The planet is warming. And so this is by blocking the sunlight above the oceans, we were artificially dampening that effect.

and we were reducing the amount of heat energy that was getting into the oceans. So now by taking that away, we're seeing the heat energy in the oceans accelerate, and now the oceans are getting much, much warmer.

Well, I mean, let's talk about economics, right? So what how much real estate do you guys think is on the Florida coastline? What's the real estate?

Right, so what happens typically when storms hit land is they no longer have that hot ocean pumping energy back into the storm that keeps the feedback loop going. So the storm cycle starts to break down. All hurricanes, when they hit land, they start to break apart. And so the category which measures the wind speed actually reduce it. This is just a natural thing that happens.
