Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Fair enough, seems to be a legitimate enough study.
You asked for something politely, someone gave it to you politely, and you politely conceded the argument.
What is this place?
Better to learn something new than to stay in a hole of ignorance because I can't accept I'm wrong.
I've also seen reports debunking this correlation. I don't have a source but it may not be as cut and dry as this.
I mean, it is good to be empirical about things, but it would fit well into the other evidence we have.
The warmer air means there's more energy kicking about in the atmosphere and, to my knowledge, we have pretty clear evidence that this causes more extrem weather events to occur. For example, hurricanes are more likely.
We'll probably see those on the weather radar to avoid them, but at that point it would be weird to me, if the occurrence of lighter winds wasn't also more likely in places we don't avoid.
I guess, a reduction of turbulence injuries might've taken place independently, because our instruments for predicting them are getting better, but then their frequency would've still increased.
I agree that it sounds logical. It might even be true, just saying that it's not conclusive.
I'm not sure way speculate against founded claims without the slightest research.

There have been a few events in recent memory that made international news of passengers injured due to turbulence including someone who I believe died.
I am well aware of these events. I am referring to the point about warmer atmospheres causing more clear air turbulence. I don't believe there is conclusive evidence of this yet, though it is a logical explanation.
