IS ASIA'S BROWN CLOUD DESTROYING THE PLANET? [+] serious ballot by Kev24 created Thu Aug 02, 07 Asia's brown clouds 'warm planet' Clouds of pollution over the Indian Ocean appear to cause as much warming as greenhouse gases released by human activity, a study has suggested. US researchers used unmanned aircraft to measure the effects of the "brown clouds" on the surrounding area. Writing in Nature, they said the tiny particles increased the solar heating of the lower atmosphere by about 50%. The warming could be enough to explain the retreat of glaciers in the Himalayas, the scientists proposed. The clouds contain a mixture of light absorbing aerosols and light scattering aerosols, which cause the atmosphere to warm and the surface of the Earth to cool. The main sources of the pollutants came from wood burning and fossil fuels, the team added. ^ so it's pollution from asia that's doing so much harm. when everyone said it was just the united states, some nutters said that we should be destroyed for creating pollution (a nazi jackoff said it on here). so now do you think we should destroy asia cuz they're destroying the planet? asia must be eliminated no, only a psycho would propose something so evil i'll comment below Ballot #116656 : SEE RESULTS Comment: Register to submit comments You may still vote without registration show your vote with comment?
