New research underscores the need for concerted global efforts to address the environmental impact of aviation, reports Phys Org.
The study, a collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Oxford, the University of Reading, and Imperial College London, emphasizes the complexity of reducing aviation's climate impact, particularly the non-CO2 emissions like nitrogen oxides and soot.
Contrails produced by aircraft engines contribute to high clouds, intensifying global warming. The findings caution against simplistic solutions, emphasizing the absence of a "silver bullet" and highlighting the need for coordinated action. As aviation's contribution to climate change is set to rise post-pandemic, the research calls for a comprehensive exploration of trade-offs and urgent solutions.
