True. However, the training I refer to includes how to avoid these
conditions, often (at least by powered paragliders) by flying in the
calm air of early morning or evening.

One very important thing to keep in mind is that conditions that a GA pilot
wouldn't normally give a second thought to can be very significant to an
aircraft like a paraglider or an ultralight, especially when your legs and
feet are your landing gear.

No argument there.
