Do you think that aircraft emit more pollution into our air than cars do?

There's no way you could Smog a Boeing 747 but do y'all think they emit more bad things than cars?

    I believe that per person and/or per pound of cargo they transport per mile the pollution output of the turbojet engines is considerably less than what regular buses and semi trucks hauling the same amount of weight per mile would put out....buses and semi's would have to make multiple trips or use multiple vehicles. Today's turbine engines do burn cleaner than the old turbine engines that one might associate with the huge trails of grey/black jet exhaust you might have seen 30 years ago coming from a boeing b-52 especially with the old cartridge type starters to fire up the engine back then they'd ignite the cartridge and this massive cloud of smoke would be coming out of the engine until it started up lol. /end rambling
