Turbulence can be an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. And climate change is about to make it an increasingly common one, according to a new study.
Using supercomputer simulations of the atmosphere, researchers at the University of Reading, in England, looked at the future of severe turbulence.
"Our new study paints the most detailed picture yet of how aircraft turbulence will respond to climate change," Paul Williams, who undertook the research, said in a statement.
"For most passengers, light turbulence is nothing more than an annoying inconvenience that reduces their comfort levels, but for nervous fliers even light turbulence can be distressing," Williams added.
"However, even the most seasoned frequent fliers may be alarmed at the prospect of a 149% increase in severe turbulence, which frequently hospitalizes air travelers and flight attendants around the world."

Another global warming “study”. We’re all gonna die!!!
How about a bill to prosecute AGW alarmists?
“If you federal funds to perpetrate a scientific fraud, you’re subject to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 dollar fine.”
It must be AGW fake news day
Something’s wrong with their model. It’s 149.3721%.
That last .0001% is going to knock my beer off the tray.
Horrors!
Only 149% ,they’re slipping
I had it pegged at 151%, so this report actually comes as a huge relief to me.
These idiots still have nothing to back up this hoax, so it’s on to more scare tactics! What better than to scare people at 33,000 Ft., especially those who are already uncomfortable flying!
I loathe these people!
It’s the specificity that tells you it’s bogus.
I refuse to give CNBC the click, so I doubt I’ll see the whole story.
One question, though. Does the study or the article give a baseline number for “severe turbulence” incidents? Is it 5, 50, 500? If the baseline is 5 for example, 150% of that would be 7 or 8, not a real significant uptick, IMHO. Unless you belong to the church of Algore, I suppose.
“They” will be rolling all sorts of “studies” out now that evil Donald Trump and his ‘nazi’ co-conspirators have declared war on the climate and want to pollute air and water like there’s no tomorrow................oh.
How does turbulence matter?
I have it on good authority that the seas rose up last year and drowned us all because of global warming.
This is long past ridiculous.
No point in giving the N reasons (where N is a large number) why this is a bunch of bull Obama.
Really, folks, the ONLY place you’ll see this type of “research” is as an output of government sponsored “research”. You don’t say what is wanted, no bucks.
Below is a short list. There is much more, for those willing to look. That is, until GOOGLE decides to eliminate these refs.
That’s still nothing compared to being molested by TSA.
And even worse, its only now THREE out of FIVE dentists recommend Dentyne
Because we are all gonna die!
They can’t even get the local weather right three days out, and there trying to sell this garbage.
Apparently, England is still hungry for money and are a little behind the times in that rat race for government dollars. Letting that sh!t bleed over here to this country is another big, big mistake. It is all about the $$. Nothing more.
Well played sir. Very well indeed!
Rather precise number, based on junk science. They cannot get the weather right next month.
A few hundred billion, confiscated by various Western governments from the Middle Class and given to Leftist universities, can bring that turbulence down to 110%. The supercomputers are never incorrect, you know.
