But Phil, it's quite simple don't you see? The more paper we pretend to have printed, the more food and products everyone will have, and the less we'll all have to work producing them.
This ain't rocket surgery.

Global warming is not caused by actual CO2 emission, it is caused by accumulated CO2 emitted over the time we burned large amounts of fossil fuels.
Reduction in current emissions will not stop global warming, it will only stop it going faster all the time.

** So you missed the smiley after my name ?The heading was an obvious joke.
Well, obvious to normal people at least.
Not necessarily:
Much fewer or no contrails? Has the planet cooled by any measurable amount?
Not evident so far, but with a lot more data the question of contrails possibly being an effect may be answered finally.
John
There are enough contrails in regular times to cause a measurable amount of cooling as well; they spread out and reflect sunlight. The increase in the difference between night and day temperatures averaged over the CONUS for the period all air traffic was grounded after 9/11 was 2 degrees F, the largest short-term variational spike in 30 years.
What was the cause of the spike 30 years earlier?

Mt St Helens perhaps?
-- Jasen.

I wonder if even with no contrail the increase humidity cause by the planes has a great influence.
