𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼? 🌐 Let’s push collectively for aviation contrail mitigation. 🌐 If you’re an aviation worker, concerned about the climate, and the future of our industry – join Safe Landing to discuss how to do this most effectively!: safe-landing.org/sign-up 13/13

✅ Contrail modelling, prediction, measurement and mitigation will also likely increase aviation jobs. ✅ A win-win for the planet and for aviation workers: 11/13

✅ Compare it to any measure necessary to reduce the CO2 impact of aviation, such as alternative fuels, or negative emissions technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC) and the cost of abatement looks very small indeed: 10/13
