of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. In the new study, we have analyzed 20 years of aviation emissions, up until and including 2018. For 2018 the net aviation ERF is +100.9 Aviation accounts for 3.5%
