Is global warming even real?

Rising levels of greenhouse gases are responsible for warming our our planet

The following visualization depicts the Carbon Dioxide Levels in our atmosphere from 2013-2023

As it can be seen, the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere are rising drastically

The following visualization depicts the Nitrogen Monoxide levels in our atmosphere from 2001-2022

As it can be seen, the levels of NO in our atmosphere are also rising drastically

The following visualization depicts the Methane levels in our atmosphere from 1983-2022

As it can be seen, the levels of CH4 in our atmosphere are also rising drastically

The following visualization depicts the change in Temperature (degrees celsius) from 1880-2022

As it can be seen, our atmospheric temperature has been rising as a result of these greenhouse gas emissions

Putting all this data together...

...it becomes clear that increased greenhouse gas emissions directly increases the temperature

The different types of Aircraft

Aircraft can be used for a plethora of reasons, including military, logistics and agriculture

There are many different sectors that utilize aviation...but which pollute the most?

The following bar chart depicts the aviation sectors that spend the most time airborne

As you can see the recreational sector pollutes the most!

How much do you pollute?

The recreational sector is notorious for air pollution. Some countries have many more airlines than others, causing them to have a larger carbon footprint

The following visualization shows what countries have more or less airlines.

The following visualization shows what countries have more or less airlines in a bar chart format.

Conclusion

How can you pollute less?

There are many different ways to lower your carbon footprint

If you are planning an upcoming trip that requires a flight, consider the more fuel efficient options.

Although cheaper, connecting flights have a much larger carbon footprint than other flights.

Furthermore, we should push for more scientific research in making air travel much more environmentally friendly

Some upcoming technologies that are more environmentally friendly include hydrogen powered aircraft or even electric aircraft.
