Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat waves can trigger new particle formation (NPF), even at temperatures as high as 40°C (104°F).

The amount of stuff we don't know - far outweighs the stuff we do know; yet we keep pushing towards destroying the natural balances that used to sustain us, all for profit and continued practices in arrogance, greed, hate and hubris. Make the billionaires who helped create this mess, clean up after themselves!
