Wait a second!!! They want to tax airlines on gases left in the upper atmosphere?!?!?! Hell, they should start taxing people who drive SUV's instead, the gov't would make more money that way, and I believe automobiles have a more direct impact on the quality of our atmosphere and not airplanes. (I am a wee bit biased though.) :)

Sorry man, can't help too much...
The only things I know about contrails are:

-more contrails = more clouds
-more clouds = more rain
-more clouds = more greenhouse effect due to reverberation

Am I right?

Regards

Seb.
