Original Note:
The claim that severe turbulence is increasing is based on a computer model, in turn based on satellite observations of conditions sometimes associated with turbulence: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GL103814 Real-world data, like the NTSB’s record of turbulence related injuries, show no such increase (pg 15): https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Documents/SS2101.pdf
