Now some dude is telling me that there weren’t fighter jets flying over NYC in the weeks following 9/11 because “he was there”. So was I, asshole.

@mattblaze A related fun science fact: “When America’s jets disappeared after 9/11, scientists discovered that contrails were quietly moderating the nation’s day–night temperature swing.” See https://www.nature.com/articles/418601a
NatureContrails reduce daily temperature range - NatureA brief interval when the skies were clear of jets unmasked an effect on climate.
@tankgrrl @mattblaze oh man. The closer to that second article mentions the casualties in Iraq.
The wild thing, which I'm sure you recall but fear too many forget, is how the second Iraq war was somehow dragged into the war on terror response despite having like absolutely no connection the 9/11
