Besides the fact that that was not based on scientific evidence, and Al Gore is not a scientist either...
I just don't know what science AOC was smoking for her 12-year prognosis.
In April, the international president of the Association of Flight Attendants wrote a commentary on the Vox website noting an association between climate change and an increase in the frequency and intensity of air turbulence."Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence, especially at moderate latitudes where the majority of air travel occurs," Sara Nelson wrote. "For flight attendants and passengers alike, that dangerous, shaky feeling in midair comes from air currents shifting."She added that clear-air turbulence, also known as CAT, is the most dangerous."It cannot be seen and is virtually undetectable with current technology," Nelson noted. "One second, you’re cruising smoothly; the next, passengers and crew are being thrown around the cabin. For flight attendants, who are often in the aisles, these incidents pose a serious occupational risk.""
I believe she said she was joking...
If you accept that everything she says is a joke, than I agree with you.
"the international president of the Association of Flight Attendants"You mean an association of glorified bartenders, just like AOC, is engaged in a scientific analysis of CO2 impact? Good Lord!
You mean you have proof that their assessment is incorrect, or what do you mean?Cheers,Bart
As a matter of fact, on my last flight to Miami, I also experienced a bad case of air-turbulence. Just to be on safe side, next time I'm driving.

At least you admit it is happening.
You sure it wasn't the pre-flight visit to a Taco Bell?
The advantages of ducks for farmers such as Akter are several. Chickens catch infections much more easily than ducks do when they get wet, too hot, or too cold. The Haors, the wetlands where Akter lives, used to have regular rains, says Miganur Rahman, a BRAC staffer, but now precipitation is unpredictable. There are periods of both unexpected flooding and drought. This has a big impact on paddy farmers: When the rain comes too early, they cannot harvest their crops, and lose their investment.
... farmers in Bangladesh are adapting to climate change...
To survive in a wetter world, farmers in Bangladesh are adapting to climate change, and are switching from raising chickens to ducks. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/07/bangladesh-climate-change-floods-ducks/593581/
My white Prius needs washing every day.But it gets washed about once a year.
