Grounding of Planes might raise temperatures

Temperatures in Europe could rise as a result of planes being grounded across the continent, according to research.

A study conducted after commercial flights were grounded for three days following the September 11 terror attacks found the average daily temperature range in the U.S. rose markedly - exceeding the three-day periods before and after by 1.8c.

Scientists claimed this showed that clouds formed by the water vapour in the exhaust from jet planes have a small but significant effect on daily temperatures.

The unprecedented study suggests the UK and Europe will experience a similar pattern.

Planes have now been grounded for 48 hours and there is no suggestion when they will return to the skies, meaning Britons could enjoy hotter than normal temperatures for days.

So let me get this straight. Additional water vapour raises the temps and water vapour is the largest component of the Green House Gases, but it is the CO2 that planes create, that is actually causing Global Warming

My sister and her husband have been grounded in Norway since the volcano went...She e-mailed me last night and said they were able to get to Oslo when that airport opened yesterday afternoon...
But they are still not sure if they will be able to get a transcontinental flight-- and may have to take a slow boat back to the States..

Too bad about their luck, but if there is a boat available it would likely be much faster than waiting for a plane, plus they would have the piece of mind of being on their way. I think a boat only takes a couple of days or so to make the crossing, could be pretty relaxing.

Yeah- thats kind of what she said...They actually don't have to be back in Texas til the 28th- when her husband is scheduled up to go back to work- but like she said since he is an Airline pilot- they should understand any delays....
