The general topics of KızlarSoruyor (GirlsAsk) are well-known: relationships, personal dramas, daily problems... These can be discussed, but I want to draw attention to a slightly larger issue. Has anyone noticed the trails left by planes in the sky lately? In science, these are defined as contrails, and they can be permanent or short-lived depending on atmospheric conditions. But do you think the impact of increasing air traffic on the balance of the atmosphere is being discussed enough? Do we only see the sky as a transportation route, or do we sufficiently consider its role in the climate system? Shouldn't we question the impact of technology and human activities on the planet more? Do you think we forget to talk about larger systems amidst daily discussions?
Are airplane contrails changing our blue sky and climate balance?
They are contrails not chemtrails. Even the bombers and fighters flying high over Germany and Japan left them. I saw a documentary on tv, I don’t remember who did it or what channel but it was about this very subject. They made a very compelling case that yes there are so many a day that they are affecting the climate. They block the sun. You can go from there and form your own conclusions
Because it contains water vapor, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, soot, metal particles, and unburned hydrocarbons, it acts as a blanket, trapping heat and turning the world into a greenhouse, which in turn causes temperatures to rise.
Contrails are water vapor. They are temporary. They neither increase or decrease ambient water vapor in the atmosphere. So any effect is inconsequential.

The volume of Earth's atmosphere up to the Kármán line (100 km / 62 miles) is approximately \(1.8 \times 10^{21}\) to \(1.9 \times 10^{21}\) cubic feet (about 51 to 54 billion cubic kilometers). Sir.
For a 6-hour flight, a typical narrow-body jet (e. g., Boeing 737) burns roughly 34,000 lbs of fuel, emitting about 108,000 lbs of \(CO_{2}\). This translates to an approximate volume of 880,000 cubic feet of \(CO_{2}\) gas at standard temperature and pressure.
So 880,000 cu ft of CO2... To convert cubic feet (\(ft^{3}\)) to cubic kilometers (\(km^{3}\)), multiply the volume in cubic feet by \(2.83168466 \times 10^{-11}\) (or divide by approximately \(35,314,666,711.5\)). The answer is 0.0000224188 of CO2 per cubic kilometer.
Now divide 0.0000224188 by 54 billion cubic kilometers of atmosphere. The answer is 4.1516296296296E-16. A very itsy bitsy number sir.
I read the article. You should have posted the link; I think I saw it on the AP website. But the picture suggests that someone is spraying something into the upper atmosphere. That is disingenuous. When you fabricate an image, you are your own worst enemy. Seek truth.

Similar to Venus

The exhaust emissions are de minimus in the total volume of the Earth's atmosphere.
Only one plane does not fly in the world, sir

There are scientists saying scientific things on this.
A vox pop vote isn't going to help you.
I was waiting for someone to give this answer, thank you, the people love you.
no they are just water vapour!!💦
Says the science nerd 🤓
Clear answer 😉 Sometimes the sky needs no conspiracy, just a little physics.
@Still-alive 👩🏻🔬🧪🤓
@AlperHan i think thats a great way to put it!!😊💯
This picture is a two engine jet creating four contrails. I call BS on you… I saw the article that you are talking about.
You don't have to believe me; you're free to investigate. Humans are created to investigate.

The image and quote ideas are mine. :D
Contrails are the dangerous pollutant dihydrogen monoxide.
AND, it becomes crystalized. OMG!
When are the flying cars coming :(
Added you to the list 🫲🏻🤛🏻 I’ll place the order. Apparently the future is running late.
We're gonna need a lot more hospitals and crematoriums.
Oh my...
Make sure you're not being followed when you make this comment.🤫🤫😄
no, they are not
