Fringey Mini: There's something in the air

Fasten your seatbelts, folks! In this mini, we're diving into a wild discovery from the Smithsonian: climate change is turning our flights into rollercoaster rides! Scientists say that as the planet heats up, we can expect more frequent and severe turbulence. Imagine that—more time spent clinging to your armrests and praying for a smooth landing. Thanks, global warming!We'll explore how warmer air is messing with the jet stream, creating those unexpected bumps in the sky. And don't worry, it's not like planes are going to start falling out of the sky, but your in-flight snack might not agree with the extra turbulence. So, next time you're on a flight, remember: it's not just the weather that's getting hotter, but the ride too!
