      Some Reddit communities had rules that you couldn’t change the news title I think. A practice that has unfortunately passed on. Perhaps some vigilant lemmy moderators can make an anti-clickbait policy, where any prompts or questions must be summarized in the title.

        I get the argument cuz you don’t want people editorializing titles absurdly, but maybe like a bracket system or something.

          One difference is that lemmy post titles can be edited by the poster. Maybe mods can too? Perhaps somebody needs to make a “anti-clickbait suggested title” bot, to help combat clickbait.

    LLM summary:

    • Clear-air turbulence, which is invisible and unpredictable, is becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change.
    • Studies have found a 55% increase in severe clear-air turbulence over the North Atlantic since 1979, with similar increases over the continental USA.
    • The warming climate is strengthening wind shear in the jet streams, which is a major driver of increased clear-air turbulence.
    • Convection caused by rising heat, particularly over oceans, is disrupting the fast-moving jet streams and leading to more turbulence.
    • Climate models project a doubling or tripling of severe turbulence in the jet streams in the coming decades if climate change continues as expected.
    • The increase in turbulence poses safety risks, as demonstrated by a 2024 Singapore Airlines incident that injured 83 passengers and resulted in one fatality.
    • Passengers are advised to keep their seatbelts fastened even when the seatbelt sign is off, as turbulence can strike suddenly and unexpectedly.
    • The FAA has documented 163 serious turbulence injuries to passengers and crew between 2009 and 2022.
    • The jet streams, which commercial airliners fly through, can both help and hinder flights by pushing them across the Atlantic or slowing them down.
    • Rising greenhouse gas levels, which are the highest in at least 800,000 years, are the primary driver behind the warming climate and resulting increase in turbulence.
