You gave NOTHING to support it. You cited a Our World In Data study that has no citation link and no credible science other than a supposition of "any emission = global warming".

I pointed out that CO2 above the tropopause (stratosphere-troposphere interface) has a net **COOLING** effect, not warming, so high altitude emissions likely are irrelevant to any discussion about climate change.

Try again, but this time without relying on your Dunning-Kruger toy action figure.

This is not evidence--it's a PDF without authors or an organization. It also concludes: "We now know that stratospheric cooling and tropospheric warming are intimately connected and that carbon dioxide plays a part in both processes. At present, however, our understanding of stratospheric cooling is not complete and further research has to be done."

You're trying to say that plane emissions don't have a net warming effect. Let's see some evidence, Mr. BS.

"Not evidence" ... whatever, Dunning-Kruger. Do the research yourself instead of spouting what you FEEL is "true".

Any cursory Google search into CO2 being a greenhouse gas will also mention that it cools the upper atmosphere (stratosphere and above) which translates to the level that airplanes fly (and above.)

You're still wrong, so is the UN IPCC, and so is the UK government. All of you don't understand the science and/or quote diametrically opposing claims.
