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."

73% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I could get a pony. I won’t, but I could.
How can they be so sure it's 149%? Sound like a made up number. They are not accurate enough.
These climate alarmists claim to know what will happen 50-100 years in the future regarding the climate, but rational people know this it is impossible to see into the future with any accuracy.
It's like the weather forecast for my area last night. 100% chance of rain (which we need badly) overnight. 100%! But I get up this morning and it is dry as heck and the garden rain gauge is not even moist.
How can these alarmists think they can be so accurate when the overnight forecasts are so 100% wrong?
The answer: They can't. Don't listen to their drivel. It's all a scam to pick your pockets.
Someone...anyone...beat these loser anti-science retards with their unread - by - anyone dissertations. What sell-outs-to-political-view idiots.
I say that climate change will increase turbulence by a million billion percent!!! OH NOES!!!!!

Hold on....
Supposedly, the ‘cave men’ survived the glaciers that made the Grand Canyon and the Rocky Mountains....
We’ll certainly survive whatever the next ‘cataclysmic’ weather predictions they can make. Sheesh.
Wait five minutes*, then name five things Global Warming/Climate Change is NOT responsible for.
* Need time for my supercomputer to warm up. Vacuum tubes take awhile.
The hot toxic gas coming out of CBS is the true danger.
How can we organize a boycott of sponsors?
Look up the Medieval Warming Period during which farms in
Greenland and Iceland were very successful. It was called “Vinland” by the ole Vikings.
We are at the mercy of the sun. It hiccups and we get appendicitis.
Without CO2 the earth is big ice ball. All the trees and vegetation would also, by the way, DIE.
See, it's people like you who get lazy with numbers that cause problems for us all.
The real number is closer to 241.8663456721987239801%
Get your facts straight!
Climate change could increase severe turbulence by 149 percent, study says.
Climate change could increase severe flatulence by 149 percent, study says.
There. Fixed it.
