    Based on the Abstract, this research is all about estimated CO2 emissions.

    But last I heard, the most important effect of aviation is the extremely-short-term greenhouse effect: Contrails are thin, high-altitude clouds, which retain heat. And when all air travel was shut down for 4 days after the 9/11 attacks, the effect was both immediate and obvious - a multiple-degree drop in overnight temperatures in parts of the US with clear skies.
