I wonder if this is like an immune system response by mother nature, it’s attacking the thing that’s warming it up i.e. air travel? Self correcting systems

On the other hand, so far I haven't heard any reports of any steel mill or cement plant being destroyed by clear air turbulence.

couldn't possibly be due to more planes flying more flights.

They haven't actually analyzed reported turbulence, it's just a simulation study: "Turbulence data from aircraft could also be analyzed, but the time period for which quantitative, automated measurements are available is far shorter than the 42 years covered here, making trend detection problematic."
