Climate change will increase violent turbulence on airline flights

Severe turbulence is expected to increase by several hundred percent in the crowded airspace over North America, Europe and the North Pacific by mid-century, when the CO2 in the atmosphere is double its pre-industrial concentration. It is expected to rise 149 percent in the busy North Atlantic flight corridor, according to Paul D. Williams, a professor of Atmospheric Science in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, UK.
