Abstract :
Climate change has been blamed for a dizzying array of problems - melting ice caps, severe storms, species migration, death and destruction - but one of the more specific phenomena be attribute to it is bumpier flights. Turbulence is the dread of most air passengers. Despite endless reassurances that modern planes can withstand the wildest turbulence the atmosphere has to offer, even the gentlest of bumps has some passengers grabbing their armrests in alarm.
