Aviation experts believe turbulence is becoming more frequent and severe due to the worsening climate, following a rare and fatal incident involving a Singapore Airlines flight.Experts have warned climate change may be causing more extreme cases of turbulence following a"rare" but fatal incident involving a Singapore Airlines flight.
Singapore Airlines and the National Transport Safety Board in the United States will investigate what unfolded in the air just hours from landing at its original destination. It can be caused by atmospheric pressure, air around mountains, cold or warm weather fronts, jet streams or thunderstorms. Researchers suggest the rise in turbulence was likely from the effects of climate change on wind speeds at high altitudes and rising temperatures.
