The consequences of the greenhouse effect tend to reach the most diverse sectors of society. Aviation is among them. According to scientists at the University of Reading in the UK, the turbulence on flights should increase 40-170% by 2050.
Due to high CO2 emissions, the chances of suffering a flight turbulence in the middle of the path increases substantially. Image | Cesar and Camila / FlickrO study was released last Monday (8) and published in the scientific journal "Nature Climate Change". To achieve this result, the researchers relied on flights that pass through the North Atlantic, linking Europe to the United States. Currently, 600 aircraft pass daily through this corridor.
Due to high CO2 emissions, the chances of suffering a flight turbulence in the middle of the path increases substantially. Furthermore, turbulence forces also tend to grow ten to 40%.
With this problem at hand, some measures will be needed to maintain security in shifts. One option is to change flight routes, making them slower and therefore spending more fuel and pollute more, as explained by Paul Williams, one of the authors.
The aircraft already configured between the means of transport pollutants that exist and that portion of blame can be even greater in the coming years. Scientists considered data from the National Energy Agency, which is part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and points to a fold in the emissions of greenhouse gases, if no changes occur until 2050.
