Fewer soot particles in the exhaust stream of aircraft reduces the formation of ice crystals and therefore the climate impact of the resulting contrail cirrus. The results are published in an open-access paper in the Nature Partner Journal (npj) Climate and Atmospheric Science. Burkhardt et al. —Ulrike Burkhardt.

Reducing emissions of black carbon soot and ground-level ozone would quickly make a considerable dent in the climate change problem and would also contribute to public health and protect crop yields, according to an essay in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs. Wallack and Ramanathan. Earlier post.)

Gasoline vehicle exhausts contribute very little to total national SO 2 emission (0.2% Therefore, coordinated policies between these two sectors are needed to reinforce EVs’ progress toward a cleaner future. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/es100520c. in 2006) but if they are replaced by EVs, the contribution would rise to 2-4%.

However, as we’ll explore further in the article, the evolution of auto glass tells a different story. Modern auto glass technologies, as we’ll uncover, significantly contribute to a car’s energy efficiency through aspects like climate control and noise reduction.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. We also mined or extracted and burned coal and oil, releasing millions of years of stored solar energy indiscriminately, altering Earth’s climate. This helps to explain the climate changes we are now experiencing.
