Research brief: If dimethyl sulfide emissions ceased, Earth would warm 0.5C in a decade

The study finds important regional consequences for precipitation and clouds formation if large changes in dimethyl-sulfide emissions were to occur.  In a hypothetical case where all marine DMS emissions cease completely, we find the Earth would warm by approximately 0.5 degrees C over a ten-year period.
