Planes and all vehicles can easily be made to run on hydrogen fuel cells. The technology is currently available. It just needs a bit of political will power to get it going universally and end CO2 emissions. If commercial planes were forced to use hydrogen powered jet engines then the water vapour produced would help seed more clouds, which would reflect more sunlight back into space. There is no shortage of water, even sea water could be used to make hydrogen. Tell your local politician to promote it.
