New study reveals global air transport contributes 3.5 percent to global warming
Global air transport accounts for 3.5 percent of anthropogenic climate warming. It is also apparent that only one third of aviation’s climate impact is due to carbon dioxide emissions and two thirds to non-carbon-dioxide effects, with contrails and the resulting cirrus clouds being the most significant factor. These are the findings of a comprehensive international … Continue reading New study reveals global air transport contributes 3.5 percent to global warming
