You get a similar effect when walking out of a hot shower. The hot water evaporates and cools you down.
Wow. So Global Aviation puts as much carbon in the air every year from a fossil fuel source which we can’t put back than the unique and terrible wildfires Canada had in 2023.
We sure need to fly less!
