Interesting, I had no idea, fluffy contrails look so innocuous. Makes me wonder, is there any post-industrial human activity that isn't disaster?

That sounds nice, but Shell has been broadcasting all matter of pro-environmental messaging for decades while continuing to fuck the planet up.
If I had to guess, this is a variation on a theme. As long as planes need fossil fuels to fly, they're bad new. Fixing one part is a distraction.
