That picture only talks about effects on global warming. I'm talking about public health. As aylons's links show, hundreds of thousands of people die every year from particulates and gases other than CO2.

Don't those particulates and gases typically have a more local effect, thus being largely irrelevant when emitted out in the middle of the ocean?
