showed that a meridional temperature gradient due to global warming was presently affecting wind shear and turbulence over Eurasia — and both wind shear and turbulence over several flight routes would keep increasing up to 2100.
Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading in England, has been studying airplane turbulence for over 20 years. His work shows that clear-air turbulence couldfrom 2050-2080. The impact would be apparent along several busy flight routes — including over the North Atlantic region.
“What we can confidently say is that climate change is increasing the amount of clear-air turbulence in the atmosphere,” Williams said. But how can climate change lead to airplane turbulence? Williams said that global emissions are increasing atmospheric temperatures, with Earth warming more rapidly in tropical regions than in polar regions. This causes a temperature difference between the north and south that increases global wind shear, which is the changing of wind speed or direction with height.Wind shear is a major contributor to clear-air turbulence.
Andres McNerney, a commercial airline pilot with several years of flying experience, said he hasn’t noticed a significant uptick in turbulence on his flights. Baumgardner added that clear-air turbulence is still rare.
What a joke of a headline and media organization
Lol Yeee-haw !!!😎!!!
Lol...certainly NOT the 'diversity hire' pilots.... definition climate change 🤡
So more rich people will be complaining while they pollute...
I think we need to accept the trans climate change and don’t ask questions! Give up your money and don’t trust the science!
Probably the heart issues many pilots are having now. New pilot training for what to do if other pilot has cardiac event now. Thanks for mandating the jab! Happy flying.
This is stupid.
😂😂😂
😆
Oh, no, climate change, climate change, climate change! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why doesn't anybody mention the amount of greenhouse gases released by thousands of jet fuel belching airliners every day.
😂😂
Or we have more flights.
Nah, planes are obviously just getting more WOKE
Hahaha
Keyword being could 🥴
Oooooooorrrrrr it’s the lack of experience and weather analysis by pilots. 🤷♂️
of course!
Horseshit.
Or that pilots are just having more fun 😉
Bs
Folks, get ready for the next sham, climate change, climate change lockdowns coming soon
🤣🤣🤣
If the people of the world would just surrender their freedoms and their money The globalist high priestess of the world the governments and corporations will keep you safe from climate change. Is there a Mayan sacrifice with this?
Climate change is not science it’s a religion.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂stfu
🙄
I call bullshit
of course they do :)
riiight
Horse manure....
Really the dumbing down of Citizens by the news media, as climate change accrues naturally but the government's attempts to control the weather have had an impact on climate change in a negative way.
This is misinformation
It can't be the Planes. This is 2018.
It's getting deeper.
you think we should throw money at it, that always works
Lmaooo
Very hard to believe an honest news organization would push such a BS story. Oh wait I didn't realize this was NBC. carry on
Yes. Every changing phenomenon in the natural world is a result of climate change 🙄 Do you guys even source your articles anymore?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It' worrying! expecially for the future because that would mean No more flights and maybe more difficulties to move if they don't develop a new way for transporting people for long trips in a fast way.
Yes and eating less meat will fix it 🤣
but......what does this have to do with race?
There is nothing global warming can't do🤡🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the super Fake news
And I Thought It Was The liquor 🥂 Cheers
This is laughable. When in doubt, blame climate change.
And the only cure is to give more money to politicians of course
