Oxford SciBar- Turbulence Ahead! How will climate change affect Air Travel?
We all know that air travel contributes to climate change through its emissions. But we are just at the beginning to understand how climate change will affect air travel. Rising sea levels and storm surges threaten coastal airports. Warmer air at ground level makes it more difficult for planes to take-off. More extreme weather may cause flight disruptions and delays.
Join us to hear Dr. Paul Williams explain how changes in climatic conditions could affect out future flights.
