Nanobacteria in clouds could spread disease, scientists claim:
"This happens because nanobacteria, lifted from the ground by winds, could transit between the high humidity region of the clouds and the relatively dry inter-cloud regions, leading to oscillations between a dormant state and one of activation,' explained Professor Wickramasinghe. 'Remnants of a sticky protein (slime) coating nanobacteria makes them act as extremely efficient cloud condensation nuclei, with a tendency to aggregate to clusters upon contact."
No wonder we are all getting sick. I blogged before about the Germans discovering fur and dandruff clogging our atmosphere and allowing ice particles to form. At least expert people are trying to work some of this weird weather and atmosphere stuff out and that makes me feel a bit more secure. We have had some weird viruses and this might explain it.In anycase, we are not sitting here inertly just letting it all happen to us. We know a lot. We have a great deal of technology and expertise at our disposal. It's good we are using it to help us understand what seems to be a very baffling world.
