Here's a NASA Release 04 - 140 «Clouds caused
by aircraft exhaust may warm the U.S. climate» (April 27, 2004)[Emphasis added]
Not exact matches
Will the environment be damaged
by hundreds of these
aircraft flying at high altitudes and throwing their
exhausts into the stratosphere?
By TARA PATEL Aerospace manufacturers are pressing ahead with their plans to develop the next generation of supersonic jetliners despite renewed uncertainty about the environmental impact of
exhaust emissions that could ground the high - speed
aircraft.
Completed
by V12 Vantage S graphic to rear decklid and unique «heat aged»
exhaust tailpipe finishers, produced in conjunction with
Aircraft Restoration Company (ARC).
Those of us involved in that research are motivated entirely
by concern over the suffering of humans and non-humans alike due to climate change, and we think there is sufficient cause for alarm about the future to do the research into the idea of putting something like sulfate (not a significant part of
aircraft exhaust) into the stratosphere (higher than the airplanes you see making contrails).
Contrails are produced
by hot
aircraft engine
exhaust mixing with the cold air that is typical at cruise altitudes several miles above Earth's surface, and are composed primarily of water in the form of ice crystals... Researchers are most interested in persistent contrails because they create long - lasting, and sometimes extensive, clouds that would not normally form in the atmosphere, and are believed to be a factor in influencing Earth's environment.
NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed
by contrails from
aircraft engine
exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States that occurred between 1975 and 1994.
