Another effect of climate change? More flight delays and cancellations.
CBS News ^ | July 27, 2023 | BY MEGAN CERULLO

Travelers have had to suffer through a record number of flight delays and cancellations this summer. Although ongoing crew shortages partly explain such disruptions, there is another factor that will be harder to remedy: climate change.

Indeed, severe weather events linked to the rising mercury are proving to be a challenge for airlines across the globe.

"There are a lot of ways climate change can affect air travel. Thunderstorms are an obvious one," Wired magazine reporter Amanda Hoover told CBS News. "When there is more heat in the air, there is more moisture, more thunderstorms."

"Really high heat can cause delays because a plane in high temperatures needs more time and more distance to take off to fight gravity," Hoover said.

Hotter air trapped close to the earth's surface can cause "invisible turbulence." Unlike with storms, such turbulence can occur even when skies are clear. Even changing wind patterns linked to climate change can be disruptive to flights.

The bottom line: Passengers should prepare for more turbulence in the air. Airlines and aircraft manufacturers will also have to adapt.

This has to be the most intense and protracted brainwashing campaign in the history of the cosmos.

This was not an issue pre scamdemic, right?

Not that I can recall, then again we have people trying to make us drink a constant blast of propaganda from a fire hose these days.

Speak of scamdemics, around April of 2020 XM Patriot host Andrew Wilkow was speaking of the eventuality of the narrative push for climate lockdowns. Some time in 2021, I remember seeing some article on the internet pop-up, it may have even been a posting on Hot Air or Twitchy, where the idea of these lockdowns was advocated. I’m guessing we’re going to see public figures more actively pushing for climate lockdowns within the next five years.

Why are so many yawning these days? Climate change yada
yada yada; the repetition, rather than alarming us, has
the ability to induce sleep.

They won’t mention how many pilots refused the hot shots; they understood if their vision suffered, their careers were over. Those flying as Air Force reservists especially were put under intense pressure to serve as Fauci’s test cases.

Obama April 2022: โ€œYet despite the fact that weโ€™ve now, essentially, clinically tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide, around one in five Americans is still willing to put themselves at risk and put their families at risk, rather than get vaccinated.โ€

Hi.

Isn’t there some kind of organization or non profit that works with all of the media to insert “climate change” into every article?

Thunderstorms causing cancellations. Maybe we should consider bring back DC-3s and Ford Tri-motors. They have better lift ratios and glide rates than modern passenger jets. Plus the benefit of operating on naon-paved runways.

This is undeniable, and wholly supported by empirical data.

In 1900 there were ZERO cancelled airplane flights.

Today, after 123 years of global warming, there are now hundreds of cancelled flights per day.

You can look that up.

Wired magazine reporter Amanda Hoover told CBS News.

Are you kidding me? So now the propagandists are interviewing each other over lunch about globull warming? Couldn't even bother adding in some unnamed "expert"?
