That's a great point. Although, my guess is the additional health costs from that pollution outweighs the hypothetical costs of that foregone heat.
Its a big catch 22 ideally you would prep for heat while weaning off but that isn't what is really happening so a lot of people are going to suffer/die from heat related issues while also to some extent still suffering from pollution.
While the marine industry/policy makers wont go back and flip their choice I bet they wish they did. With the oceans heating up so fast not only is it putting ungodly pressure on fisheries but it is supercharging hurricanes and typhoons which themselves deal crazy amounts of death and destruction.
I am sure there is a middle ground but I am not sure where it is.
