A recent study has stated that airplanes contribute a major chunk of carbon dioxide emissions and is poised to become a major factor in global warming.

It's based on a projection that states that in the next 10 years carbon dioxide and other gases from air traffic will concentrate up to very high level that will lead to fasten the process of global warming all resulting by 2050.

The team led by Bethan Owen and colleagues noted that aviation is presently the highest contributor of global warming, close to 60 percent of emissions and this has not been included in the Kyoto Protocol.

The carbon dioxide emissions majorly contribute the warming, and it is stated that by 2100, these levels would go upto seven times the current levels.

Despite the advancements in aircraft technology no such improvements have been made in improvising the condition which still lays downtrodden and thus adding levels of emissions in the atmosphere.

This study has been published in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology.
