The text claims that planes cause 2% of global warming.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that planes cause 2% of global warming is not entirely accurate. According to the evidence, aviation is responsible for around 5% of global warming due to approximately 2.4% of global CO2 emissions and other gases. The claim underestimates the impact of aviation on global warming by focusing solely on CO2 emissions without considering other contributing factors like contrails and non-CO2 gases. Therefore, the claim is misleading as it simplifies the complex impact of aviation on climate change.

Planes cause 2% of global warming.
The claim that planes cause 2% of global warming is misleading. Evidence from the BBC and Wikipedia indicates that aviation contributes around 5% to global warming, considering both CO2 emissions and other factors like contrails. The claim simplifies the impact by focusing only on CO2 emissions, which are about 2.4% of global emissions. Thus, the claim is partly true but misleading.
