Study: Jet Exhaust Affects Weather

An anonymous submitter writes: "Warp 10 speeds may affect... Ooops, wrong story.. Apparently, jets are affecting the weather and contributing to about a 3 degree daily temperature variation. Even a single degree variation in overall temperature (climate) is significant, but I'm not certain how significant is 3 degrees in local temperatures." We mentioned this before - there was a Wired story - but now their work has been published in Nature and the AP has picked up the story.

don't encourage them

It must be a slow news day.

This will only encourage the weird science crowd who are looking at the contrails as "chemtrails" and look at the whole thing as an effort to control global warming, or do other mean and nasty things.

Google reveals about 18,000 hits on the word "chemtrails" alone. Have a party.
