Air pollution from Asia affecting world's weather

      Extreme air pollution in Asia is affecting the world’s weather and climate patterns, according to a new study. Using climate models and data collected about aerosols and meteorology over the past 30 years, researchers found that air pollution over Asia,much of it coming from China, is impacting global air circulations. 
       This is all according to a study by Texas A&M University and NASA's Jet Prpulsion Labroatory researchers. The models clearly show that pollution originating from Asia has an impact on the upper atmosphere and it appears to make such storms or cyclones even stronger. The whole study was funded by grants from NASA, Texas A&M's Supercomputing facilities and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China.
