This is green washing. Making planes burn less fuel is nice, but it doesn't change the physics of burning them St high altitude.
The only way to fix that is to burn lower to the ground. Ships will always be more environmental friendly way to cross oceans.
Source please? This is not how my understanding of physics works
Literally read the link above. They mention the issues of nitrogen oxides exponentionally fucking up the atmosphere when burned at high altitude, but they they totally leave that out when calculating only co2 in the conclusion
