... airplanes of the future won’t be able to take off at some airports due to global warming

Density altitude is the biggest factor in aircraft take off on a given runway length, temperature, and altitude. I know this from firsthand experience as I used to be a private pilot – until my hearing got so bad that I decided I was a danger to myself and others. This study published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society claims the number of days with a density altitude issue at some airports will increase per RCP model scenarios in 2050-2070. Of course they are assuming that the RCP models produce an accurate output, and that airplanes of the 2050-2070 era have the same airfoil efficiency and takeoff power of today.

The good news is: all those Knutti “climate scientists” won’t be able to fly off to Paris, Copenhaagen, and Rio for those fascist climate summits.

The enviroloonies are aviation experts now! How exciting! LOL! What a bunch of morons.

“I know this from firsthand experience as I used to be a private pilot – until my hearing got so bad that I decided I was a danger to myself and others. “

At least we know we are dealing with an idiot that didn’t know how to protect her hearing.

All that brain-power wasted on goofiness. Why not figure out how to give people food, clean water and a disease free life, instead?

That’s nothing!

How will planes even be able to fly at all when the sky is on fire!?

The Density Altitude required to ground current aircraft would have to have a rise in air temperature of at least 50°. Nothing would be alive at that rise in temp.

Liberals are Luddites. They blame man and his machinery for all the world’s troubles.

Well, you should De Ice the Plane before trying to take off.

Good news! Everybody will be starving from lack of food and will be rail thin. No more fatties stuffed into coach. Those airplanes will leap off the runway.

How many times have we died from AGW announcements so far?

I love to use a certain tack when these global warmers get started.

I say, “OK, maybe we are warming. Where is the evidence that the governments of the world, who can’t run their own countries, can successfully control the climate of the planet? And how will they agree on the temperature?

They will all want different temperatures depending on where they are located, and won’t makes you think they won’t screw this up like everything else they try? Sounds just as dangerous as doing nothing to me. And doing nothing is a lot cheaper.”

Thanx for the heads up. Canceling my flights and hunkering down at home,

More flaps plus less loading will result in safe takeoffs.

Did you read the comments? Many appear to be seasoned pilots and all are throwing the BS flag.

Anecdotal evidence isn’t scientific evidence unless it proves what we want it to prove.
