WASHINGTON - Pollution from Asia is helping generate stronger storms over the North Pacific, according to new research. Changes in the North Pacific storm track could have an impact on weather across the Northern Hemisphere. Satellite measurements have shown an increase in tiny particles generated from coal burning in China and India in recent decades, researchers report in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.

The team, led by Renyi Zhang of Texas A&M University, studied pollution and clouds between 1984 and 2005, concluding that increasing particles enhanced the cloud updraft to generate more intense thunderstorms than previously.

Comparing 1984-1994 with 1994-2005 they found an increase of 20 percent to 50 percent in deep convective clouds.

The Pacific storm track, they noted, plays a critical role in global atmospheric circulation, and altering this weather pattern could have a significant impact on the climate.

If it's not the fault of the Americans, then it's no ones fault. Nothing will ever be said by our government because they would never want to upset China or India.

That is very true, I saw a program once showing the pollution track of that of China. Thanks to upper level winds, the track covered the majority of the pacific and engulfed Oregon.

So where are all the liberal zelots telling me I'm wrong and that the U.S. is the cause of everything bad that happens in the world?

they're all slobbering over the Ann Coulter thread right now. Once they get tired and bored with that they'll be over here to show you the error of your ways and schedule your trip to the reeducation camp (rehab)

No, you read it's not an American made disaster.

Get your head right.

yet Bush is the worst environmental president for not signing Kyoto.

I love when environmentalnazis cherry pick.

This all started with the brits when they invented the jet engine.

The US signed Kyoto.

GWBush did not send it to the Senate for ratification, and in 1997, the Byrd(D) / Hagel(R) resolution passed the Senate 95-0 saying the US should not sign the protocol if it did not include targets for developing countries as well as developed countries.

So the non Kyoto US stand is the Senate's fault.
