Not only that, I read a study a year or two ago that says that the storms getting worse in the oceans is a direct result of less pollution.

>Air pollution is now recognized as one of the greatest threats to human health, contributing to an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths in 2019, according to the World Health Organization.
In and around port cities, ships are a major air pollution source. So, in 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) took significant action to reduce air pollution and protect human health.
The IMO placed heavy restrictions on the amount of sulfur allowed in shipping fuel because it produces sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and sulfate particulate matter, which are linked to respiratory issues like asthma, wheezing and chest tightness.
They also cause environmental impacts through acid rain, which damages forests, crops and waterways.
