According to Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading, there's no clear data on how climate change is affecting mountain waves or convective turbulence, but clear air turbulence is definitely becoming more frequent and intense.

Recent studies Williams has worked on show severe turbulence is increasing by 149% increase versus 59% for light turbulence. However, severe turbulence will likely remain very rare.

No, not because of global lunacy, turbulence related incidents are on the increase because of more aircraft in the air for longer trips, as well as passengers NOT keeping their seat belts on.

This "research" quoted is cherry picked opinion, not peer reviewed research, in other words someone using the word: Experts, ....for credibility, where there is absolutely no credibility.
