Brown Haze from Cooking Fires Cooking Earth, Too
The brown haze over Asia warms the atmosphere just as much as greenhouse gases
Drone aircraft flying in loose formation through the brown cloud that forms over the Indian subcontinent have revealed that the nearly two-mile thick haze exacerbates atmospheric warming by 50 percent. This means the soot in the cloud more than cancels out any cooling from its fellow aerosols—and causes as much warming as carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas.
