Very helpful. Thank you!

where?

That doesn’t really explain how contrails themselves increase global warming. Is it that forming the contrail pulls energy out of the gaseous water (and onto control surfaces) via condensation so now the atmosphere can absorb a bit more heat while the GHG (water) remains in the air? How does using more fuel and outputting even more CO2+water+methane counterbalance that?

How does that work? Expending more carbon (and thus more CO2 release I would think) to reduce how much water condenses on control surfaces?
