Ah yes, I remember this news from months ago.

TL;DR for peeps in a hurry: Dirty emissions from cheap fuel-oil were making/seeding extra clouds over the ocean, enough to reflect a measurable amount of incoming sunlight.

New cleaner fuels (or electric power?) = no more extra clouds = slight uptick in global temp. Oopsie whoopsie.
