Climate Change Fuels Airplane Turbulence, Study Says

Climate Change Fuels Airplane Turbulence, Study Says

Imagine the Earth is getting a fever, and this fever is making storms worse.

These storms create strong, sudden gusts of wind, like invisible punches, that can be dangerous for airplanes.

Scientists have found that climate change is making these gusts stronger because it adds more water into the air.

This extra water and heat then create bigger storms.

Smaller planes are especially at risk because they are more easily tossed around by these winds.
