Urban heat, pollution found to mess up weather...

Maybe the real answer to our strange weather?.?.?.

The massive amounts of heat and pollution that rise from the world's cities both delay and stimulate the fall of precipitation, cheating some areas of much-needed rain and snow while dousing others, scientists said.

So could it be all this time... it is actually the pollution affecting the weather more so than global warming.

In a way the rain, snow, etc. does act like a heat shield and helps to bring the heat down and helps to prevent radiant heating... if the rain is centering in certain places then the others would warm.

Also this problem could lead to a shortage of drinking water.

What can be done about this before it is too late?

Rest of the story can be found here.
