On Monday, CBS published a line on what causes turbulence after 11 people were injured on board a Hawaiian Airlines flight last Sunday, the UK’s Daily Mail has reported.
Taylor Garland, spokesperson for the Association of Flight Attendants, said turbulence is caused by severe weather and things are going to get worse because of climate change.
Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News medical contributor, hit back at the Flight Attendants Association Union claims.
“I don’t think the spokesperson for the Flight Attendants Association Union should be the climate change czar. Turbulence happens all the time. It’s happened since we’ve invented flying. And thankfully, it’s actually gotten better because of the technology on the airplanes,” Saphier said, adding passengers should buckle up.
“I don’t think that we should just chalk this up to climate change and I think maybe people should just, you know, wear a seatbelt.”
Jimmy Failla, host of Fox Across America, questioned the data behind the claim.
“The reason people fall for this garbage is because they want to sound empathetic and considerate. The only data we have to support climate change is that people are getting rich selling it to us, and none of the people making that money are adhering to any of the guidelines they’re forcing on us,’ Failla said.
“I want to become a climate activist just so that I can fly on private jets. That’s the perk to me.”
CBS News was mocked on Twitter with many criticizing the the station for using the union’s statement as evidence.
One said, ‘I spilled my coffee this morning… due to climate change’ as others just simply said, ‘That’s called weather’.
