Scientists have determined who is behind global cataclysms

Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have established that biological particles in the atmosphere - such as pollen and bacteria - play a key role in the formation of ice crystals in clouds.

As is known, the formation of ice in clouds is the basis for most precipitation on Earth. Ice crystals fall faster than water droplets, and their active formation often causes intense rain and snowfall. According to a study published in the journal Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, as global temperature increases, so does the concentration of bioparticles in the atmosphere, making them an increasingly important factor in weather and climate formation.

As part of the work, researchers established a direct link between the presence of biological particles and their ability to initiate water freezing in clouds. This discovery emphasizes their direct influence on precipitation processes.

Note that earlier American scientists discovered a new shade of blue-green color, which can only be observed using special equipment.
