New tool to measure aviation’s impact on climate |
|
|
Researchers led by Michael Prather, professor of Earth system science, have created a new decision-making tool to gauge the full climate impact of each aviation flight. Called Global Warming per Activity, the metric measures how long and how strongly each component – carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxides or contrails moisture – affects the atmosphere. This allows users to calculate how to successfully balance aircraft emissions that contribute to global warming. |
