Okay, now I am really confused.
A study out claims that because of the all the planes grounded in Europe, due to the ash from the volcano in Iceland, temperatures will rise.
Temperatures in Europe could rise as a result of planes being grounded across the continent, according to research.
A study conducted after commercial flights were grounded for three days following the September 11 terror attacks found the average daily temperature range in the U.S. rose markedly - exceeding the three-day periods before and after by 1.8c.
Scientists claimed this showed that clouds formed by the water vapour in the exhaust from jet planes have a small but significant effect on daily temperatures.
So, if planes are good, we could kill two birds with one stone. The government should subsidize air travel by 50%. By doing so we would increase the number of planes in the air, heloing the envirnment, and we would also be helping the economy by encouraging tourism. Win-Win! Right?
Seriously, this is another example of just how ridiculous the entire global warming nuttyness is.
