How Pollen Can Play a Role in Affecting Climate
2015-05-11 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The main job of pollen is to help seed the next generation of trees and plants, but a new study from the University of Michigan and Texas A&M shows that the grains might also seed clouds. The unexpected findings demonstrate that these wind-carried capsules of genetic material might have an effect on the planet's climate. And they highlight a new link between plants and the atmosphere. Pollen has been largely ignored by atmospheric scientists who study aerosolsparticles suspended in the air that...
'Pollen Tsunami' is real and it's awful

Mashable: You're tired. Your eyes are watery and itchy. Your head feels like it's stuffed with cotton. And you can't stop sneezing. Blame the weather. Blame climate change. Blame your allergies.

Male trees and flowers produce it in the spring to fertilize their female counterparts, which will...
Pollen May Play Surprising Role in Climate and Cloud Formation
2015-05-05 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Grains of pollen may be seeding clouds and affecting the planet's climate in unexpected ways, University of Michigan researchers write in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Scientists had assumed that pollen particles were too large to remain in the atmosphere long enough to interact with the sun's radiation or trigger cloud formation. The study found, however, that pollen grains are capable of disintegrating into much smaller particles something that allergy researchers have known for quite...
