TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented updated values of aviation radiative forcing (RF) for 2005 based upon new operations data that show an increase in traffic of 22.5%, fuel use of 8.4% and total aviation RF of 14% over the period 2000-2005.

TL;DR: A comprehensive updated assessment of aviation is provided, highlighting the impact of aviation emissions of CO2 on global mean surface temperature last for many hundreds of years (in common with other sources), whilst its non-CO2 effects onTemperature last for decades.

TL;DR: CO2-warming-equivalent emissions based on global warming potentials (GWP* method) indicate that aviation emissions are currently warming the climate at approximately three times the rate of that associated with aviation CO2 emissions alone.

TL;DR: The aviation emission scenarios presented are designed to interpret the SRES and have been developed to aid in the quantification of the climate change impacts of aviation.

TL;DR: A new framework to link existing air quality tools and the implementation of this framework through the development of prototype software IMPAQT (Integrated Modular Program for Air Quality Tools), which aims to aid transport or environmental planners by increasing the efficiency of air quality assessments.
