Good Grief, The Climate Cult Discovers Contrails (again)

This is not exactly a new thing from the Cult of Climastrology, but, I’ve only seen it once.

Contrails are aviation’s most ignored problem. Could new routes help?

Passenger aircraft contribute significantly to global warming, primarily due to the large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted during flights – one of the main greenhouse gases driving climate change.

But flight traffic is also responsible for other climate-damaging emissions including aerosols, nitrogen oxides and, to a very large extent, contrails.

Combined, these so-called non-CO2 emissions account for more than 60% of the climate damage caused by aircraft, according to researchers.

Last year they said it was just over a third from contrails.

Contrails — the white line-shaped clouds left behind by planes — pose a particular problem as they are able to trap heat, contributing to warming.

Research has been under way for years whether air masses in which particularly long-lived contrails form can be circumvented.

But, what if we do not see contrails from planes? Does that mean it’s not happening?

What are contrails?

First: No, they do not consist of chemicals nefariously left behind in the sky (remember the chemtrail conspiracists?).

Sure sounds like the cult is claiming they are chemicals nefariously left behind in the sky. Because, really, contrails are primarily water vapor. Except in Cult Land.
