Climate change is expected to lead to stronger vertical

jet aircraft. Wind shears can become unstable and cause
turbulence. Read the cartoon and choose the best response.
20 Williams used supercomputers simulations that calculate
clear-air turbulence along Transatlantic routes in winter and
found all turbulence strength levels will increase in a world
with twice as much CO2. The computer models show the
average amount of light turbulence will increase by 59 %,
25 light-to-moderate turbulence by 75 %, moderate by 94 %,
moderate-to-severe by 127 %, and severe by 149 %.
Ironically, or perhaps poetically, aviation has long been
recognized as a major contributor of greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere.
