Why is there more and more turmoil?

Turbulence during air travel increased as climate change increased the planet’s temperature, says a group of researchers.

Scientists at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom studied these atmospheric disturbances in clear skies, which are more difficult for pilots to avoid, and found that severe turbulence increased by 55% between 1979 and 2020 on a busy North Atlantic route.

Academics attributed the increase to changes in wind speed at high altitudes. That It’s because the air is warmer as a consequence of carbon emissions.
