Researchers think climate is making your flights a much more uncomfortable experience. Unpredictable "clear-air turbulence," which happens without clouds or bad weather, is becoming more frequent, causing problems for pilots and passengers. ✈️ Clear-air turbulence is hard to avoid because you can't see it. Avoiding jet streams helps, but it burns more fuel and increases greenhouse emissions. ✈️ It often comes with no warning, which means passengers might not have their seatbelts on or have time to put them on. ✈️ Flight attendants face the most danger. Because of their job duties, they're often standing and not buckled in when turbulence hits. |
