Asian air pollution strengthens Pacific storms

By Rebecca Morelle, Global science correspondent, BBC News


How can people live in this? I remember how miserable I felt growing up in Smogville in the '50s.

Quote:
Researchers have found that pollutants are strengthening storms above the Pacific Ocean, which feeds into weather systems in other parts of the world.

The effect was most pronounced during the winter.

T.H.A.N.K ... Y.O.U

The best is... it's gotten to a point where I think the general public are realizing how idiotic they are, how money grubbing they've become, and how unintelligent they sound. Finally.

Like a kid screaming who needs attention. These alarmists need to pick up a book!.

Why is this absurd? Aersols (particles from cloud formation) affect cloud formation. This effect sounds plausible.

Apparently this sounds unintelligent and absurd to you, even though this study was done scientists who have a familiarity with the topic. Perhaps you could actually give an intelligent counter-arguement instead of name-calling, which just sounds idiotic.

One volcano releases more pollutants into the atmosphere that mankind has done since time began. I think we should cap off all volcanos or at least charge Mother Nature for the carbon footprint they cause. Or better yet, let's sacrifice Al Gore to the volcano Gods to make them quit erupting.

Saying its causing climate change? I think you're more intelligent than that.
I suggest you start reading what other scientists have researched and post here your findings that climate has always changed with or without these claims.

I wonder if that California heat/dought was still the biggest American news story of the winter. Jumped the gun on that one huh.

I cleaned out the dust from my old bedroom a few weeks ago. I released it out of the window, on a clear sunny day, and just 10 minutes later a black cloud formed directly overhead, and it rained like cats and dogs. Next time, I just put the dust in a plastic bag.

Do you have proof that it doesn't? Instead of being violent, which many GW deniers seem to be these days, why not show us proof that the article is false.

Kinda reminds me of the effects of volcano on the world climate. One of the most notable cases was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia. It was one of the main reasons 1816 was dubbed "The Year Without a Summer". A snowstorm hit Quebec in June and frost happened in the Hudson river in June as well. Crops died out and some people died due to the unexpected cold weather.
