They did reference satellite data. However, I do not know to what extent satellite data can show turbulence. The article implied a total cause, but I suspect its a bit more complex. Not sure how you would tell if its more common. I remember people complaining about turbulence for as long as I can remember. Maybe people's expectations about flight safety are just higher now, because planes offer a better experience.
making up news is easier than reporting news. we are in that cycle. Once trust-fund babies took over media, it is just part of the activist-industrial culture. We will tell those plebs what's good for them.
