Comment on Contrails Map

Comments

Amazing visualisation, an excellent tool.

Are there other sites that can suggest how much of an issue it is, and how much flight plan tweaking could improve this.

Remember kids a 1° C rise in temperature can mean 7% more water vapour in the air, and with water vapour being a greenhouse gas itself this can cause heating and holding yet more water.

The site itself has more information. https://contrails.org/

I guess the map is posted today due to this recent video (worth a watch): https://youtu.be/QoOVqQ5sa08?si=sGK9Q9tUoFOW1QZg
