#ClimateDiary This too is going to get so much worse.
And yes, I am aware of the irony/tragedy/whatever-you-want-to -call -it, that flying contributes to climate change and therefore turbulence. And now pondering whether climate change will in turn soon make flying too dangerous, and that there is a certain justice in that. All this; but for now do feel sorry for people on this flight. #Turbulence#SingaporeFlight
Actually, it'll probably just make the pollution worse.
I would guess that they'd simply fly at a higher altitude to pass over the turbulence. This comes at increased cost/pollution (fuel) and obviously the aircraft's structure will have to go up a notch.
For context, Concorde flew at ~60,000ft and today, most flights are ~30-40,000ft.
