• Resumen

  • This article looks at changing airline flight schedules in order to decrease the amount of atmospheric warming. Condensation trails formed by airplanes' hot exhaust have been proven to cool the atmosphere slightly during the day and warm the atmosphere slightly during the night. Therefore, scientists believe that reducing the amounts of overnight flights may help control global warming.
