Half a million people in the air at any one time ( Where is the warming?)

Marvel at the science and engineering that keeps these planes flying, and remarkably safely:

Planes in the sky with half a million people in the air at any one time | Guardian & Flightstats

How many flights are in the air at once? NOAA estimates that 5,000 planes are in the sky over the United States. On any given day, more than 87,000 flights travel through US airspace… globally estimates seem to be that there are around 8,000 – 13,000 though I didn’t happen to find an authoritative source.

This youtube shows the dots in motion:

 This youtube works  better in a larger view – those planes are just too dang small, but it has better resolution.

The Guardian has a very nice display of current flights (using realtime data) to celebrate 100 years of passenger flights (from January 2014). It shows the top image in motion.

Hark Ernie. I tried a number of times to connect to her web site. It must be down.

I must have messed it up.

It’s interesting to see where the traffic goes outside of the EU and US. It appears that presumably Sao Paolo and Dubai are mini hubs. Buenos Aires, Istanbul and Singapore are a bit more minor. Beyond that it seems a bit more diffuse. Part of this may be because more prosperous countries (e.g. japan) have many airports.

There is a major traffic point off the NW coast of Africa. Is that the canary islands?

Thanks Ernest.

I live 15 min from Ft. Lauderdale airport.
This time of year with windows open you hear the planes.
One goes over about every 10/15 minutes.
Certain times it seems more frequent.

OK. I'm clueless on the link between the numbers of world travelers via. primarily air travel, and some discrediting in the false global warming fiasco.
Your off the hook in a detailed response Ernie if you wish.
It just seems like this particular post has no valid reference if I may, to some phenomena such as global air travel in regards to climatic changes the occur in cycles on this earth.
The earth is at a very slow rate cooling. Period. Based on more honest and reliable evaluations. Along of course with the newest deep ocean satellite system operations.
Like I wrote. Your off the hook unless you want to respond.
