Contrail radiative forcing over the Northern Hemisphere from 2006 Aqua MODIS data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculated the radiative forcing due to linear-shaped jet contrails over the Northern Hemisphere for four seasonal months using 2006 Aqua Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer cloud and contrail property retrieval data in a radiative transfer model.

Tipping to Staying on the Ground: Internalized Knowledge of Climate Change Crucial for Transformed Air Travel Behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed semi-structured interviews with Swedish residents, focusing primarily on individuals who have reduced flying because of its climate impact, and applied a framework of sustainability transformation to identify incentives and barriers in personal and political spheres.

Transition policies for climatically sustainable aviation

TL;DR: In this article, the potential aviation emissions mitigation policies against the background of emerging complexities, such as the large share of radiative forcing not covered under any policy agreement, as well as highly skewed demand distributions.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.
