Do airplanes effect global warming a lot?

Answer 1

Airplanes' effect on Global WarmingAirplanes emit a lot of carbon dioxide, the most significant greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Aircraft emissions accounts for about 3% of CO2 emissions. Experts predict that by 2050, aircraft emissions will account for over 5% of total warming.

There is evidence that indicates that airplanes do affect CO2 concentrations. Notably, there was a marked decrease in CO2 concentrations in the days succeeding 9/11, when airplanes were grounded.

Some airplanes emit lots of water vapor, another greenhouse gas, which can be seen sometimes as a contrail (condensation trail), a white streak behind the airplane.

They also drop aviation gas on waterways especially near airports.

Answer 2

Industrialization has affected global warming due to a number of facts including:

• Before the industrial revolution, global warming was minimal and didn't have much affect on the earth. There was a natural greenhouse effect that kept us warm.
• Old and new technology had contributed to the causing of global warming as fossil fuels are burnt and non-renewable resources are used. This is adding 300-million-year-old carbon to the atmosphere.
• People are now using more energy (generated by burning fossil fuels) in their day-to-day lives and because they can!

Answer 3

Airplanes contribute to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into the atmosphere. While they make up a relatively small percentage of total emissions compared to other sectors, like transportation or electricity generation, airplanes have a disproportionately high impact on the climate due to the way their emissions are released at high altitudes.

Answer 4

They emit carbon dioxide, a heat trapping gas, as a byproduct of the combustion of fossil fuel. Increased concentrations of this gas result in the earth's gradual heating.

Answer 5

yes, they polute the atmosphere.

Answer 6

0.02% of all CO 2 Emissions
