UN Study: Brown Haze of Pollution Threatens World’s Food Supply

Atmospheric brown clouds caused by pollution contribute to glacial melting and reduce sunlight that negatively impacts agricultural production. Extreme weather caused by global warming is also of concern for farmers. From Beijing to Cairo, dark clouds have darkened 13 cities from the Persian Gulf to Asia decreasing the amount of sunlight by as much as 25 percent.
