Not so. According to the shipping industry, the shipping industry's heavy NOx production causes cooling, due to production of -OH, which mitigates the warming effect of methane. VW was doing all of us a favor.

    In summary, most studies so far indicate that ship emissions actually lead to a net global cooling. This net global cooling effect is not being experienced in other transport sectors...The net cooling effect that so far has been found primarily affects ocean areas, and thus does not help alleviate negative impacts of global warming for human habitats.

Although that is an impressive document.
