The aviation sector is a top-ten global emitter and for 4.9% of the warming impact on the Earth.
Aviation’s climate impact is not restricted to its CO2 emissions—more than half of aviation’s climate impact comes from non-CO2 effects. Planes release other greenhouse gases and water vapor into the atmosphere, which create warming feedbacks.
The sector’s emissions have already risen dramatically since 1990 and are expected to grow exponentially by mid-century.
There are a number of processes by which aviation contributes to climate change, but the one that gets the most attention is its contribution via CO2 emissions. Mos flights are powered by jet gasoline – although some partially run on biofuels – which is converted to CO2 when burned.
