Modern planes' contrails trap excess heat in the atmosphere like natural clouds, contributing significantly to climate change, possibly more than jet fuel carbon emissions.
Contrails act like a reflective blanket, preventing heat from escaping and potentially causing a double-wammy warming effect alongside jet fuel emissions.
Studies estimate that contrails contribute around 60% of the aviation industry's climate impact, surpassing the impact of carbon emissions.
