Tangentially related Good news: You can avoid about half the greenhouse effects of flight by slightly changing the flight plan to avoid cloud forming regions

Bad news: this generally wasn't counted before and when counted roughly doubles the impact so in some senses you're back to where you started.

But it's a much lower hanging fruit than anything else and as yet we're not doing it.

because doing this will increase costs instead of performative actions.
