he climate is changing not just where we live at ground level, but also where we fly at 35, 000 feet. Air travel contributes to climate change, but scientists have only recently discovered that climate change is, in turn, affecting air travel. Warmer air is making it more difficult for planes to take-off. Rising sea levels and storm surges are flooding coastal airports. More extreme weather is causing flight disruptions and delays. Severe turbulence is becoming much more common. Flights are taking longer because of changes to the jet stream, adding millions of dollars to airline fuel costs. Come along to find out how climate change will affect your future flights. Paul D. Williams specialises in atmospheric modelling, turbulence, and climate change. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers and two books. He has held visiting fellowships at the Universities of Cambridge and California. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, the Royal Meteorological Society, and the Royal Astronomical Society. His frequent TV and radio appearances have included the BBC, Sky News, Channel 4, CNN, The Discovery Channel, and The Weather Channel.
