The climate is changing – not just where we live at ground level,
but also where we fly in the upper atmosphere. Everybody knows
that air travel contributes to climate change through its
emissions. However, scientists have only recently discovered that
climate change is, in turn, affecting air travel. Rising sea levels
and storm surges are flooding coastal airports. Warmer air is
making it more difficult for planes to take-off. 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.

The bowls club bar will be open for refreshments during the evening, parking available on site.
