Is increasing turbulence making flying more dangerous?

This podcast episode explores the increase in turbulence levels in the atmosphere, particularly clear air turbulence, and its potential impact on air travel. It explains that climate change, with the increase in global temperatures, affects wind speed and strengthens the temperature difference across the jet stream, leading to more turbulence. However, while computer models project significant increases in severe turbulence, it does not necessarily mean passengers will experience more turbulence on flights. Measures are being taken to keep flying safe and smooth, such as better turbulence forecasts and modern aircraft responses. The focus should be on enjoying the journey rather than worrying about turbulence.
