Study: ‘Climate change could lengthen the flight times of some air travel’

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/68518/20150713/air-travel-and-climate-change-may-be-linked-in-feedback-loop.htm

The airline industry already is responsible for 3.5 percent of all greenhouse gas emission, according to the International Panel on Climate Change.

Any increase in airline travel times could result in a feedback loop between the carbon emissions of airplanes and our changing climate, Woods Hole geologists and geophysicist Kris Karnauskas says.…

“What the report does is assure the FWS funds, over the next five years, to continue spreading alarm regarding greenhouse gases, continue their current and planned polar bear subsistence harvest management plans, and make additional plans to deal with polar bear problems that may or may not arise,” Crockford wrote.

‘Settled Science, or Selective Ignorance?’

Generally speaking, when people refuse to debate it is because they are losing. That is where we are today with regard to the climate. Alarmists declare that the argument is over, and they won. This is akin to a football team that is trailing 35-0 at halftime claiming victory and refusing to come out for the second half. But the alarmists soldier on, oblivious to the ridicule they incur.…
