6:08 pm
a drug-like effect. lyanne: one congressman called tiktok "digital fentanyl," because once you open up an app, it is like getting a hit and another hit to your brain. the issue with young people is that their brains, we all know this, are being rewired, so there are a number of studies and also a book that came out about how the overuse of social media is stealing their focus. so some strategies that could be taught in the classroom are, for example, limit screen time, take breaks, basically unplug and unwind. ama: easy to say. lyanne: yeah. ama: sometimes kind of hard to do. thank you, lyanne. dan: activists fighting for housing and health care for communities most affected by hiv took their pleas and straight to city hall today. they held a rally in san francisco right before heading into a meeting with county supervisors to share the challenges the hiv-positive community faces. the group once about $7 million

6:41 pm
those unsettling effects when we step onto an airplane. spencer: all, chances are you have experienced turbulence. a recent study out of the u.k. are suggesting that global climate change could be making those bumps more frequent and possibly more severe. using satellite data, research from the university of reading estimates a significant type of turbulence has increased some 15% in areas along the earth's jet stream. the question now, what is ahead for pilots and passengers? >> i believe that the studies are valid, but we need to do more experiments to verify it. spencer: the department chair for aviation and energy technology at san jose state university. using a tabletop wind tunnel and a heating pad, the professor gave us a look at what happens when changes in temperature create wind shear. >> you can see a little bit of vibration of the plane,
6:42 pm
turbulence is being created, and the plane is moving up and down. as the earth is warming up, it ats up the air, therefore the air is going to go up. spencer: that can trigger what is known as clear air turbulence, unpredictable stretches of bumpy air at high altitudes, not caused by storms. fellow san jose state lecturer scott miller is also a working airline pilot with first-hand experience. >> those are the routes i tend to fly, the west coast to hawaii. in the four years i have been doing that playing, i've seen the amount of clear air turbulence increased over the last four years. spencer: captain miller climbed into a flight simulator to give us a feel for what pilots experience. >> we are starting to get into some turbulent air. you can see the airplane is bouncing down around a little bit. spencer: captain miller is careful to point out variations in turbulence can be traceable to a variety of factors, but rising temperatures could be in the mix. >> as the ground heats, it radiates that air, that hot air
6:43 pm
up into the atmosphere. those moving air currents develop the shear. spencer: he says many pilots now employ turbulence tracking software to help pinpoint it between flight crews. but you may want to buckle in for some long-term projections. researchers in the u.k. studies believe the frequency of turbulence along the north american jet stream could triple in the upcoming decades, depending on climate change. back in the lab, the professor says confirming the data is step one, but if an increase in turbulence turns into a new reality for pilots and passengers, predicting its behavior could be critical. >> there are better predictions of what is going to be happening. the data is helpful, but we really need to analyze it carefully, to be able to come up with production models. spencer: models that could someday help smooth out the challenges brought by climate change. on the ground at san jose state, spencer christian, abc 7 news. dan: interesting. researchers at san jose state
