I mean, it is good to be empirical about things, but it would fit well into the other evidence we have.
The warmer air means there’s more energy kicking about in the atmosphere and, to my knowledge, we have pretty clear evidence that this causes more extrem weather events to occur. For example, hurricanes are more likely.
We’ll probably see those on the weather radar to avoid them, but at that point it would be weird to me, if the occurrence of lighter winds wasn’t also more likely in places we don’t avoid.
I guess, a reduction of turbulence injuries might’ve taken place independently, because our instruments for predicting them are getting better, but then their frequency would’ve still increased.
There have been a few events in recent memory that made international news of passengers injured due to turbulence including someone who I believe died.
Do you have a source for that? I’m skeptical.

There ya go
Fair enough, seems to be a legitimate enough study.
You asked for something politely, someone gave it to you politely, and you politely conceded the argument.
What is this place?
Better to learn something new than to stay in a hole of ignorance because I can’t accept I’m wrong.
I’ve also seen reports debunking this correlation. I don’t have a source but it may not be as cut and dry as this.
