The British Airline Pilots’ Association (Balpa) has claimed a report by the Climate Change Committee "underplays" the importance of contrails and their potential effects on global warming.
Decarbonisation didn't feature heavily in Hunt's Budget
The report, published by the committee to parliament, comes shortly ahead of the publication of the government’s Jet Zero strategy, which has been implemented to formulate a path towards net-zero for aviation.
However, according to the association, it doesn’t recognise the importance of contrails and their potential environmental impact. The report does note the net effect of non-CO2 impacts "almost certainly contributes a warming effect to the climate".
