We can end quite a bit of this issue (which is still mule fritters) per cult dogma if we restrict all Warmists, starting with the Elites, from taking fossil fueled flights
Airlines have tamped down on carbon emissions by flying planes at higher altitudes. But this comes at a cost: the higher-flying aircraft are creating more contrails that last longer, worsening the industry’s impact on climate change, a new study found.
“This doesn’t mean that more efficient aircraft are a bad thing – far from it, as they have lower carbon emissions per passenger-mile,” said Edward Gryspeerdt, the lead researcher, in a statement. “However, our finding reflects the challenges the aviation industry faces when reducing its climate impact.”
Contrails — short for condensation trail — are the white streaks in the sky behind planes. Airplanes create the lines of water vapor when they fly through high altitude humidity zones.
An MIT study from March of this year found that contrails account for just over a third of the aviation industry’s contribution to climate change. Contrails trap heat in the atmosphere, which in turn warms the planet.
Wait, are they saying that *gasp* water vapor is a greenhouse gas? Hmm.
Private jets, already heavily scrutinized for high carbon emissions, represent a big part of the contrail problem. Imperial College London researchers found that the small planes produce similar-sized contrails to their bigger counterparts.
Well, lets stop lawmakers, administration heads, and governors, presidents, vice presidents, premiers, prime ministers, etc, from flying on private jets first. See how they like it. See if they are fine with this. Of course, any law would look more like France’s, which blocked all short haul flights of under 2 hours for the peasants, but, allowed private jets to make those flights.
Another possible way to get at the contrail problem, scientists from the Imperial College London say, is to reduce the soot emitted from aircraft engines. This could make the white streaks fall out the sky faster, reducing their warming impact.
Just a bunch of cultish nags, always wanting to tell Other People how to live their lives.
It seems that no matter what we do, someone will always find something wrong with it.
When they’ve reduced us back to Neanderthals sitting around a fire, it’ll turn out that the campfires also contribute to
global warmingclimate change.Contrails form between 32,000 and 42,000 feet. That means they were already forming at the lower altitudes planes fly at AND the higher altitudes. NO difference. Same amount of water vapor either way is created by the engines. A contrail is the condensation of the vapor, not the creation of it. Greenhouse gas effect is no change. If anything, creating a visible cloud should block solar radiation (sunlight) at higher altitudes and prevent it from warming the Earth. Therefore, Contrails are good. Certainly better than invisible water vapor. Flying higher altitudes means less fuel burned witch results in less water vapor created. But at least those guys at MIT took home a paycheck for this.
Climate Nutjobs wouldn’t be happy if they were in Jesus’ right hand pocket.
HERETIC!
It is well known that Jesus did not have pockets. Nor would he have put people in them if he had.
