Violent storms affect a continent's climate as rain goes up in smoke

Violent storms affect a continent's climate as rain goes up in smoke - SpecialsEnvironment :

"A team at Hebrew University in Jerusalem flew special planes through smoky clouds over Brazil and measured how the smoke affected them. They found the tiny smoke particles caused the water in the clouds to form minuscule drops that were too small to fall to the ground.

These can then be carried into higher levels of the atmosphere to freeze into chunks of ice, which fall as hail or big raindrops, the report said, adding there are plenty of sources for this disruptive smoke."


Back in my day we didn't have the Amazon forest , or any other forest, going up in smoke to make partcicle to create deluge downpours and hail. We were so tough we had to make our own rain.
