Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

In the new study, we have analyzed 20 years of aviation emissions, up until and including 2018. Both radiative forcing (RF) and effective radiative forcing (ERF) terms and their sums are calculated for the years 20002018. For 2018 the net aviation ERF is +100.9 —Marianne Tronstad Lund, co-author. mW (mW) m ?2
