How climate change is making flight turbulence worse

Turbulence on flights has been increasing, and climate change could be one of the reasons why. CBS News senior weather producer David Parkinson explains how the human-caused phenomenon affects the flight path.

Thank God they didn't blame trump.

I'm so proud of the comments here. More and more people are waking up i see.

Thank God it does not affect private jets

Weather guy: "Allow me to explain something that I don't have a clue what I'm talking about"

Meteorology is most definitely a science. What kind of statement was that?

Buckle your seat belt when seated. You never know.

[MaharaBriggs]

Of course they are more frequent. Man has a Haarp machine.

Super sonic jets fly at twice the altitude as conventional aircraft. There is no turbulence at that altitude.

Where do you get these guys? I thought this was going to be stupid, and it was.

Let's get it straight, the fatality on Singapore airlines was due to a heart attack.

Good God-I’ve been constipated for 2 days-NOW I KNOW WHY—-CLIMATE CHANGE!!! 🎉🎉😂😂😂

The sun creates turbulence not the climate 😂😂😂 thats why you get less turbulence at night.

[Michael-dq]

I call BS see climate change is smart it only affects boeing planes 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Slow news day when you can't speak of TelAvivKyiv Gennocjde. Speaking of 'turbulence', avail yourself of terms 'ESG Compliance' and 'Materiality Assessment'. Forget the vote, you have none. Your farm and business will be forced to comply and then pay ESG fees, the opposite of 'carbon credits' enjoyed by High Tech AI blade warehouses _co-locating with hydro-power_ that OUR TAXES BUILT. AI blade warehouse apps doing remote 'materiality assessment ' of your operations, then dinging you to the State for ESG non-compliance, and doxxing you for Eco-Terrror sleeper ceII attacks. _"Say Greta Thunberg's name!"_

Linking everything to your fairytale agenda..

[KlngVJames]

This is why in recent years the planes have been moving faster cause of the jet streams

We must achieve 0 carbon emissions as soon as possible!

Accept that aircraft travel is the freakish issue in this matter, should not deceive & obfuscate about inherent risks by blaming natural weather phenomena. Delusion, density, & deception with climatecon, denying that aircraft travel is freakish while blaming natural meteorological phenomena & weather patterns ... technology & else synthetic has their own inherent risks, self-imposed hazards, & inevitable catastrophe.
