Global Warming will stop planes from getting off the ground. Because warmer air is less dense and therefore provides less lift, a new study out of Columbia claims that by 2060 the warmer climate will make airlines reduce loads in order to take off. No word so far on whether “environmental scientists” will also be less dense by 2060—we can only hope.

If it makes the air less dense, then that reduces wind resistance, which reduces fuel consumption. Increasing wing surface area will more then make up for the reduced density at low speeds. Obviously aerodynamics isn't something these climate liars ever studied.
They're also unaware that the engines on todays jets require little more than a software reprogram to increase their thrust output. Yup, we are running them way below their max rated thrust capabilities just to save fuel and overhaul costs. Everything these maroons are clucking about could and would become overcome with thrust!
Gee, I thought this is what they wanted! No more planes flying, less carbon output, and less warming!
I wish they would make up their minds.
You've hit tha nail on the head Pop. Their biggest wish is to deny others from having what they do not have. That alone makes their goal a moving target.
Stop aviation? Really? What bullshit. On a personal note, people here at IHTM know I like my music loud & hard. Also, my avatar gives away the fact that Iron Maiden is my favorite band. 30 plus years of amazing music, & legendary live shows. But they travel like nobody else in the music industry, on a custom 757 they themselves created...

...just another reason I love them. Like I needed one. A huge carbon footprint & the singer Bruce Dickinson as the pilot to boot. He has done a bunch of aviation related features that you can find on YouTube. Up the irons!
These stupid bastards compete with each other by seeing who amongst them can pull the dumbest crap out of their ass.
And the winner is..............
King Barky and SOS Ketchup!
my further AGW prediction ...this lighter air will make the Earth float out of its current orbit and crash into the sun. Sort of full on GW.
I can't even think of a constructively snarky comment on this GW claim.
Oh wait, I can...
BULLSH!T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes greatness takes a few minutes.
It's like they're now in a "crazy prediction contest."
They're seeing just how wild they can make a prediction before they're finally caught.
I think these scientists KNOW (and have known all along) that GW is BS. The experiment was always sort of a Milgram's thing. "How much absolute nonsense can we spew and people will accept it because we're 'scientists.'?"
Like watching "Who's Line is it Anyway" with climate comedians trying to out stupid each other....only no one is laughing...
Yes according to libturds, the only thing flying by 2060 will be Unicorns.....WE are all going to die very soon because the planet is going to explode......Every time one of these climate clinging idiots speaks, all I hear is the Waaa Waa Waa from the Charlie Brown cartoon.......
As reality proves that AGW is nothing but a con job, the fascist democrats and their RICO partners in academia and public employee unions are going to come out with ever more crazy and ludicrous talking points. I hate to think how much money was burned in this total bullshit study about something 50 years out.
Don't worry how much it cost - I'm sure a government grant paid for it and everybody knows government money is free money.
On the other hand, after 45 years of the MO mandatory okra and rutabaga diet everyone will weigh less than 100 pounds anyway, so they will be easier to get off the ground. Either that or the commercial airline industry will be banned by the Greenies because you stupid peasants travel too much.
That diet won't help, because it causes more methane gas to be emitted, making AGW much worse.
