"Climate Change Accelerates Jet Stream Speed, Study Reveals"

A study published in Nature Climate Change reveals that as climate change progresses, the fastest upper-level jet stream winds will accelerate by about 2% for every degree Celsius of warming, surpassing the average wind speed by 2.5 times. This increase in wind speed is expected to lead to decreased flight times, increased clear-air turbulence, and a potential rise in severe weather events. The research highlights the need for policymakers to address the impact of climate change on jet streams and plan for the future.
