Clean air linked to fiercer storms
2013-06-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Atmosphere and ocean are together a climate system: put more energy in, and it must go somewhere. If North Atlantic hurricanes are more destructive or more frequent, it may be linked to lower levels of atmospheric pollution. Conversely, sulphate aerosols and other particles from factory chimneys, vehicle exhausts, domestic fires,...
