[Gasification] NOW Temperature Monitors Report Widespread Global Cooling

[Greg and April]

There was a NOVA program that covered part of it, basically all the 
contrails build up during the day, holding in the heat at night.

During the 9/11 timeframe when no commercial jets were flying, there was a 
3-5* F drop in the nightly low temperature, when compared to the days before 
the 9/11 No Fly restriction and the days after.

I wonder if anyone has done a direct comparison - the average daily 
temperature vs. the average number of flights during the day.
