       [2/2] … frequency of passenger flights hit by severe turbulence might be a consequence of  global heating effects.  If so, it is likely to increase further.  No one knows how bad it might get in a few decades.  However, I suspect it will not be as big a problem as the likely food shortages, spreading tropical diseases, and deaths from heat.

       @rms Yes, things will get real when food and water come up short throughout the world. And it will. For the past 25 years, the Pentagon has seen this coming problem as the biggest threat to global security and stability.Pentagon war planners (very smart folks) are no longer studying war scenarios against Russia like they used to. They're studying and modeling what's going to happen and how do we react when India runs out of food and water?
