It even shows the climate-relevant emissions of the flight &#8211; but a change causes trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The Google flight search only shows the climate-damaging effects for the flights displayed to a limited extent &#8211; and is criticized for this. After the change, according to Google, flights have a significantly smaller impact on the climate than before the change. &#8220;Google has taken a big chunk out of the airline industry&#8217;s climate-damaging impact,&#8221; said Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, since July only the CO2 emissions are displayed. Before that, the further contribution to global warming was also included. According to a BBC report, the aviation industry is only responsible for around two percent of global CO2 emissions, but accounts for 3.5 percent of man-made global warming.<\/p>\n<p>This is because airplane contrails trap heat radiated from the Earth. This aspect is no longer reflected in Google&#8217;s most recent calculations. According to &#8220;BBC&#8221;, Google said that the change was made after consultation with industry partners.<\/p>\n<h3For more sustainable travel decisions<\/h3\n\nThe said CO2 calculator is part of the Google flight search. Users can display the calculated CO2 emissions for their trip for the flights displayed. According to Google, the function should help users to make more sustainable travel decisions.\n\nThe change therefore distorts comparability with other means of travel, fears Kit Brennan, founder of Trust Carbon. Carbon is a British company that helps other companies reduce the climate impact of their business travel. He told the BBC: \"I am concerned that this impact, equivalent to hundreds of millions of tons of CO2, will be ignored as it is now invisible to customers.\"\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sXgb_d1Qo5U\" title=\"How To Use Google Flights\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/new-eu-rules-hit-apple-google-and-facebook-hard\/\" title=\"New EU rules hit Apple, Google and Facebook hard\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New EU rules hit Apple, Google and Facebook hard<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/google-is-running-out-of-money-in-russia\/\" title=\"Google is running out of money in Russia\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google is running out of money in Russia<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/google-pixel-watch-forgotten-in-the-restaurant-googles-smartwatch-images-surfaced\/\" title=\"Google Pixel Watch \/ Forgotten in the restaurant: Google\u2019s smartwatch images surfaced\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Pixel Watch \/ Forgotten in the restaurant: Google\u2019s smartwatch images surfaced<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
