is it just me getting terrified in my old age, but you see realvideo. >> someone who studies the atmosphere day for work, it was conclusion based on anecdotal evidence the warming atmosphere, global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to this. it has been pretty much a unanimous opinion along atmospheric scientists that rising temperatures and larger volumes of warm air rising into colder air in the upper atmosphere, they are contributing to more turbulence. >> i love how much i learned watching this piece. talking about turbulence when there is a big storm, you had a typhoon in the region, i also knew that when you fly over mountains, the denver area, that gets bumpy. but the clear turbulence, are we saying the planet warms, we have more of this warm air colliding with cold air? >> that is what the scientists are telling us. larger volumes of warm air rising into higher levels of out smear -- atmospheric -- noticed a couple of decades ago. the warm air rising into the colder air currents in the higher atmosphere. speed and direction. those because clear air turbulence.
