Contrail

Contrails account for roughly one-third of aviation's total climate impact, and this approach requires no new aircraft or fuel technology, just altitude adjustments based on better data, making a low-cost near term lever for emissions reductions.

Google is also partnering with Contrails.org, a nonprofit focused on contrail science, indicating a move towards open research collaboration rather than proprietary solution, which would accelerate industry-wide adoption.

So I went down a little bit of a hole before the episode started 'cause I actually prepared for once 'cause I'm in Seattle this week, and the Contrails.org website's actually pretty cool, where, like, there's a whole UI in there that you can, like, see the contrail, and talks about, like, the plane type and everything else it was on, and, like, how the contrail, why it's, like, 1% of the total global warming, I think the metric was or whatever it was.

Like, their website's really cool.

It has a lot of, like, interactive stuff.

Keep watching the contrail as it stops, like literally stops in the sky.

Dafuk, planes don't do that.

MFW Contrail starts retracting along its original path at the same speed as the approach, until it completely disappears.

Be one of three dudes that shares looks and agrees we can never mention that shit because no one will ever believe us.
