Mar 13, 2007 (The Australian - ABIX via COMTEX) -- There is increasing evidence that air pollution causes a reduction in rainfall in semi-arid regions such as eastern Australia. Israeli cloud physicist Daniel Rosenfeld and a Chinese research team studied 50 years of records from a meteorological station on top of Mount Hua in central China and found that rainfall declined between 30 and 50 on smoggy days. Rosenfeld said the findings have implications for eastern Australia, which has similar topography. Similar results have been released by the California Energy Commission, showing that air pollution was associated with a reduction of rain and snowfall over the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
