it's the pollution, not the CO2 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

In the first study of its kind, scientists have compared air pollution rates from 1850 to 2000 and found that anthropogenic (man-made) particles from Asia impact the Pacific storm track that can influence weather over much of the world.

The team, which includes several researchers from Texas A&M University, has had its work published in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

"There appears to be little doubt that these particles from Asia affect storms sweeping across the Pacific and subsequently the weather patterns in North America and the rest of the world," Zhang says of the findings.

"The climate model is quite clear on this point. The aerosols formed by human activities from fast-growing Asian economies do impact storm formation and global air circulation downstream. They tend to make storms deeper and stronger and more intense, and these storms also have more precipitation in them. We believe this is the first time that a study has provided such a global perspective."

"Our results support previous findings that show that particles in the air over Asia tend to affect global weather patterns," Zhang adds.
"It shows they can affect the Earth's weather significantly .

Maybe we should send A. Gore there, and a few thousand of his closest supporters to scare them out of using all of those CFC's. Did you forget to turn off a typing program before reading your your preview post? It looks like two paragraphs repeated.

I'm confused, C02 is not a side effect of fossil burning and so becomes pollution?

Yeah let's just ignore this , good call.

The real question is how are you going to get developing Nations to stop or spend more money on effective ways to curb the problem.

In some of those Countries they don't care much if their own People suffer or die to make Money for the State or the Wealthy.

I doubt that. Money talks and pollution on the scale they have in China hurts the bottom line.
