Climate

Flying has a significant negative impact on the climate. Aircraft burn kerosene, which releases greenhouse gases such as CO2. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which leads to an increase in temperature.

Flying has a greater impact on the climate than other means of transport, such as trains or cars, especially over short distances. In addition to CO2 emissions, aircraft also temporarily form clouds in the atmosphere, which can have an even greater climate effect.
