It seems like the acceleration of global warming has coincided with the race for space exploration, as well as the increase in air flight. I imagine the superheated atmosphere from not only jet fuel, but rocket fuel has done more to heat up the planet than anyone is mentioning. It would be sad if our need to conquer space, actually dooms our planet. I would like to know if NASA has it’s scientists working on the impact of the space program on global warming?

We do have a choice - ignore what's happening and hope the chickens come to roost during the next administration. It's the default answer.
