And why are people constantly surprised by climate change? It always has and always will. What we have got wrong is overpopulating marginal land.
The air speed indicator on a small plane has a green band, within which the aircraft will fly to its design limits in any likely conditions. Above that is a yellow band where you can fly in calm air but any violent manoeuver or heavy turbulence can cause damage. You don't knowingly enter cloud or fly behind a mountain in the yellow arc. Quite simply, we have pushed agriculture and population into the yellow band. And there is a red band, where sustained flight will certainly cause damage and the aircraft may become uncontrollable. You can't blame the air - it's your own damn fault if you leave the green zone.
