Ask the experts then: "Researchers: Contrails Add More To Global Warming Than Airplane Emissions" Mar 30, 2011 – "In a new paper, scientists say the condensation trails left behind by aircraft could be causing more climate warming than the CO2 emitted by all aircraft since the start of aviation". http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/...8/researchers- contrails-worse-for-environment-than-airplane-emissions Actually, the exact opposite occurred right after 911. The Lack of those contrails allowed an average temp increase of 3 degrees across the United States and Canada. May I please ask for a citation of your information source(s) for that statement? I made the same request of someone who recently stated that global avg. temperatures *decreased* after 9/11 due to the absence of contrails. They were unable to respond. Their statement was qualified as a increase of outgoing planetary infrared radiation (due to lack of the H20 absorption and re-radiation in all directions) relative to incoming visible-light albedo, certainly a non-linear relationship. This raises a very important question, and yet a very common one, which usually goes unanswered: an average of precisely what information, and of what time intervals? Hourly WMO (World Meteorological Organization) world- wide station data of a week, a month, a year, a fortnight? ... and relative to what time frame? Some private researcher's site-specific data of the same time frame ? Your own data from your un-calibrated instrumentation on your roof? The long run might be an increase but the short run (when they are abruptly missing) causes a temp increase. After the flights were resumed, the temp went back to normal. Again, I'll respectfully request a supportive citation, as the above statement makes no physical sense on the face of it. Repectfully, if you had done a simple Net Search you would have come up with this same answer. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0808075457.htm http://articles.cnn.com/2002-08-07/t...vis?_s=PM:TECH On person pointed out out that the temp change in the day was up while the temp in the night was down. This is caused by the lack of the normal Contrail Water Vapors that the Airliners give off. In the day, the lack of it allows less heat (rays) to be bounced back. Hence the temp raises. In the night, the lack of the contrails allows the escape of heat hence the lower temp. We are talking about water vapor and crystals. This is part of the nature order of things. Mother nature uses it herself to regulate temperatures. It's neither bad nor good. It just is. -- http://tvmoviesforfree.com for free movies and Nostalgic TV. Tons of Military shows and programs. |

Is there a measurable difference in worldwide temps on cloudy days vs clear days in heavy air traffic areas? |
