In my 23 years as a flight attendant and president of our union representing 50,000 others, I know firsthand the threat climate change poses to our safety and our jobs. But flight attendants and airline workers have been told by some pundits that the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey’s environmental proposal, will ground all air travel.
That’s absurd. It’s not the solutions to climate change that kills jobs. Climate change itself is the job killer.
Severe turbulence is becoming more frequent and intense due in part to climate change. Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence, especially at moderate latitudes where the majority of air travel occurs.

It sure doesn’t look like there was any attempt to do anything with the alleged additional air turbulence events but “blame ‘climate change’.” Ah surely it couldn’t have to do with number of flights or where they go?
This lady and her union members should stop driving cars.
What a load of bull.
CO2 levels are increasing at an astronomical RATE OF 1 PART PER MILLION PER YEAR. Wow! CO2 makes up .0004% of the atmosphere. What a crock to say it is affecting the wind patterns. LOL!
You bet, flight attendants are some really smart, highly educated experts on the subject.(S)
Actually they’re waitresses in the sky.
OFFS! “Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence...” Union rep dumbass much? What about all those chemicals you guys dump causing all those chem trails. :-)
There are fewer plane crashes now than there were 30 years ago. Explain that.
She has been exposed to a few too many “smoke in the cabin” events.
Which ain’t “smoke”. Its neurological toxic fumes produced from the anti-wear agent in the hydrulic fluid when it leaks on the hot surface of a jet engine then is sucked into the cabin pressurization system.
The Green New Deal will turn you into Breeders for the Muslim overlords
.04% Doesn’t change your point.
NYC will be the test bed for the Green New Deal ,but will they throw the rubble into the Atlantic ,LOL
The same idiots that believe that Trump is a Russian agent, believe that “Climate Change” is such an imminent threat, that all mankind will be destroyed, and soon! Read them a bedtime story, I suggest “Chicken Little.” Boy will they scream when they figure out that fairy tales are the basis of their worst fears.
Fiddle. I tell my captain right after push back for us to go make some chem trails to get those sort of people more paranoid.
Planes are getting lighter. This they feel turbulence differently than planes did 30 years ago.
400 PPM now, or 0.0400. Not 0.0004
This is still mighty little. And 3.4% of that is generated by human activities.
More CO2 means more yummies for photosynthesizing (green) plants. More CO2, in any sane range, is not brown. More CO2 is green.
This is true — fewer huge jumbo jets ply the air today than decades back.
“Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence...”
That may or may not be true, but even if it was the case
there is no connection to man made warming.
56 million years ago the earth was hotter than the earth
today, with not a car, factory, or human in sight.
My bride has over 43 years experience as a non-union FA, I gave her this article to read and she just chuckled and shook her head. It seems as though Sara is guilty of belting out BS without any scientific basis. Typical of the left.
This moonbat “stewardess” should stick to coffee, tea, or milk and trying to lure the pilot into the sack.
“Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence, especially at moderate latitudes where the majority of air travel occurs.”
Apparently this scientific information is only available to Airline Stewardesses.
