Creation of this database is a big step forward for researching long-term changes in air pollution and correlating these with climate change. The researchers compared the visibility data to available satellite data (2000-2007), and found it to be comparable as an indicator of aerosol concentration in the air.

And with broadband, government builds the roads, they build the water and sewer systems, I tend to think our communications network should be one of those utilities as well. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. GM never wanted the EV1 to succeed.
