Default Contrails - A major Source of UK Air Pollution ?

Again this morning I was reminded of how much cloud cover jets produce
from
their contrails looking to the north where west to east traffic flies
surely
this is a major problem for us in the UK ?

Why don't we make everything not from UK airport activity fly up the east
coast ( westerly prevling winds or north or south of the UK.

If I remember after 9 11 the us skies were cloud free


But wasn't there a study done that showed that temperatures were
actually a degree or so *higher* at this time?
So bizzarely aircraft may be helping to *reduce* global warming.
