Climate crisis leading to more turbulence during flights, says study

Researchers say bumpier air travel is driving up costs and increasing the risks for passengers and crew

The climate crisis is leading to more turbulence during flights, driving up costs and increasing the risks for passengers and crew, according to new research.

The study found that warmer air, caused by carbon emissions, is creating bumpier flights around the world with severe turbulence in the North Atlantic up by 55% since 1979.
