As poetic as a contrail – or condensation trail – may be, the white trails left behind by high-altitude aircraft are not nearly as harmless as they appear. Although they come from only a small fraction of flights, they contribute to global warming at a level comparable to aviation’s CO2 emissions. A new report by Klima Consulting, commissioned by the environmental organization T&E, states that preventing the formation of these contrails could de…

Tackling Contrails Could Avoid 10 Years of Aviation-Related Climate Warming — New Research

Contrails, the white lines left by planes, contribute to global warming at a similar level to aviation's CO₂ emissions, despite being produced by only a small share of flights. A new report by Klima Consulting, commissioned by T&E and authored by former IPCC scientist Olivier Boucher, finds that preventing their ...
