aren't contrails still Bad?

from https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-airlines-contrails-clim...

"""Contrails — the thin, white lines you sometimes see behind airplanes — have a surprisingly large impact on our climate. The 2022 IPCC report noted that clouds created by contrails account for roughly 35% of aviation's global warming impact, over half the impact of the world’s jet fuel."""
