Original Note:
Modern planes fly at higher altitudes to reduce carbon emissions, the thinner air at higher elevations create less aerodynamic drag, allowing them to burn less fuel and therefore emit less CO2 per mile. However, it also means they create contrails that take longer to dissipate. https://phys.org/news/2024-08-modern-aircraft-emit-carbon-older.html
