Agreed. It's also easy to use.
Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently 487
Canadian scientists have created a device that efficiently removes CO2 from the atmosphere. "The proposed air capture system differs from existing carbon capture and storage technology ... while CCS involves installing equipment at, say, a coal-fired power plant to capture CO2 produced during the coal-burning process, ... air capture machines will be able to literally remove the CO2 present in ambient air everywhere. [The team used] ... a custom-built tower to capture CO2 directly from the air while requiring less than 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per tonne of carbon dioxide."

My point is this: Cutting our planes' emissions will do nothing but place further financial strains on us, leading to a relative inability to compete with other countries less concerned about the illusory monster of global warming.
Since you're keen on models, do you have a model showing it will be a long term economic disadvantage to cut emissions? The fact is, most changes geared toward reducing global warming involve either 1) increased efficiency or 2) use of alternative, less-polluting energy. Given that fossil fuels are a limited resource, this is something we'll have to do eventually anyway, and we may as well be ahead of the curve.
