Bill Gates admits he flies private, but says he avoids one hidden way planes warm Earth

Bill Gates emphasizes that contrails from planes contribute significantly to global warming and climate change. He suggests that adjusting flight paths can minimize the formation of warming contrails. Gates explains that avoiding contrails could substantially reduce aviation’s climate impact at a low cost. The nonprofit organization Contrails.org is working to standardize contrail avoidance in airline operations. Gates also shares his personal commitment to reducing the climate impact of his flights.
