Recently, quite a few flights around the U.S. have left passengers feeling nauseated, to say the least, due to intense turbulence. While frequent flyers may deal with some turbulence every now and then, studies are showing that this not-so-rare occurrence may only continue to increase over upcoming years.
Generally speaking, most of the turbulence that passengers experience on a flight is in relation to seasonal weather patterns, jet streams or from flying over mountain ranges or large structures. But recently, the frequency of turbulent flights leaves people wondering if this could be caused by something else.

According to results reported so far, rapid changes in the earth’s temperature (a.k.a. global warming) is having and will continue to have a powerful impact on turbulence. The changes are said to lead to more frequent and more powerful turbulence in the future.
The good news? Aircraft manufacturers like Boeing are working to create preventative solutions that will help to better avoid turbulence. The aircraft manufacturing company is reportedly working on creating a laser device that would be attached to the nose of planes to help pilots to avoid clear air turbulence.
