Scientists believe climate change will cause much more violent turbulence of the sort that broke the leg of a Turkish Airlines flight attendant this weekend and sent 28 passengers to the hospital.
"The prevalence of transatlantic wintertime clear-air turbulence will increase significantly in all aviation-relevant strength categories as the climate changes," Williams writes in athat examines climate change's effects on turbulence in the North Atlantic corridor, the world's busiest oceanic airspace.
"The economic costs of turbulence arise from injuries to passengers and crew, damage to airframes and cabins, flight delays, inspections, repairs, and post-accident investigations," according to Williams, who estimates the current economic cost of turbulence incidents may be $200 million per year for United States carriers alone.
"The busiest international airspace experiences the largest increases," they wrote,"with the volume of severe CAT approximately doubling over North America, the North Pacific, and Europe."
Yes. Also if two new same model Boeing aircraft already crash. Lets all blame the climate. Lets pretend it never happened.
According to British Geological: Global climate change has usually occurred very slowly over thousands or millions of years.
You know what I think, commercial airliners cause climate change, turn about is fair play…
