The impact of pollution on these clouds is sufficiently strong to completely shut off precipitation from them.

The reduction of precipitation from clouds affected by desert dust can cause drier soil, which in turn raises more dust, thus providing a possible feedback loop to further decrease precipitation.

The effect of dust on cloud properties is to inhibit precipitation,

Unfortunately, my satellite measurements reveal that almost all pollution sources produce many small aerosols that work to reduce the size of the cloud droplets, thus the precipitation.

The fact that there's a shakeout in the first generation of companies associated with it [the Internet] clouds the issue, but it is a tremendous productivity booster, ... The leading companies will benefit long-term.
