Climate change is making turbulence worse, although deaths are still rare, experts say

Well... This is very convenient indeed for the airline operator and manufacturer... All those passengers are now SOL for compensation because it was the fault of 'climate change', not the airline, or the plane. LOL

[ProtectOurFreedom]

If only we’d taxed ourselves tens of trillions, lived in caves, ate bugs and wore animal skins, this death wouldn’t have happened. Of course, we wouldn’t have invented aircraft and mastered thermodynamics and metallurgy to build jet engines, either.

But there’s no amount of money too great to save one life.

“Clear air turbulence” is a convenient cover for possible pilot error. It doesn’t show up on radar, it is invisible and unpredictable. The “climate change” rubbish is just for the sake of the narrative.

[Williams]

Totally ridiculous.

[marktwain]

Complete B.S.

Anything "bad" happens, the B.S. merchants link it to "climate change".

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Keep throwing offal against the wall and see what sticks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

(((YAWN)))) all this turbulence is caused by the gas rising up off of Capitol Hill.

[oldplayer]

Agreed, with everyone else here - this is total and complete B.S.

[Flaming Conservative]

Oh for crying out loud! These people are NUTS!

[The_Media_never_lie]

If unnamed experts somewhere, said it, it must be true.

[wildcard_redneck]

Climate change is responsible for everything, even chickens mating with pigs.

And it's likely only going to get worse due to climate change, climate and aviation experts have noted.

B.S. Climate Change is causing fruit and nuts to grow in Spring and Summer. Except now we've got fruits and nuts everywhere, especially in government and media. Maybe Biden will legislate air bags be installed in all aircraft, in and around every seat.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The DEI pilots and air traffic controllers have nothing to do with it. 🤡

Climate Change to Blame for Low Tire Pressure

Climate Change to Blame for Bad Breath

[GrumpyOldGuy]

False.

[lurk]

This is lie inflation, when the lies get stacked up too many per day.

Professor Paul D Williams

His claims to fame:

"I am also an award-winning science communicator, regularly giving public lectures, speaking at science festivals such as New Scientist Live, debating climate change sceptics, and appearing in the media (see playlist of TV interviews above). I have been quoted on the front page of the New York Times, I have explained the Coriolis force in The Times, and Chelsea Clinton and Cher have tweeted about my research. I am a consultant to Guinness World Records, advising on extreme atmospheric events for the famous series of best-selling annual reference books."

experts say

You can pretty much stop reading right there.

[c-five]

Unnamed experts, and unspecified evidence.

I was waiting for this head.
