This cirrus-forming phenomenon could account for around 35% of aviation’s total contribution to climate change—or about 1% to 2% of overall global warming, according to some estimates.
I had absolutely no clue that they had an impact, much less such a significant one. Thanks for sharing!
Also interesting:
A small fraction of overall flights, between 2% and 10%, create about 80% of the contrails
The “chemtrails” will continue, because they’re a natural side effect of airliner travel in certain conditions.
Dumb Floridians will call authorities.
What will the state do? Tell the airlines they are liable for something they aren’t doing?
The farce has to end somewhere.
Edit: let’s just hope it ends before hillbillies feel justified for shooting at passenger aircraft.
I mean… Contrails are bad for the climate and should be avoided, and it wouldn’t cost that much more.

Tho we all know that they accidentally stumbled into maybe a good idea.
