This is a fascinating story about the interconnected nature of the Earth's biosphere.

From everything I can see the rest of this century is going to b! e a debacle with hundreds of millions of people dying. All completely unnecessary but, when profit is the only social priority, inevitable.

These particles promote cooling by reflecting sunlight back into space and helping clouds to form.
