9. Reducing air pollution could increase rice harvests in India
   12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An analysis by researchers at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego found that the combined effects of atmospheric brown clouds and greenhouse gases negatively affected growing conditions for rice in India. The researchers estimate that harvests would have been 20 to 25 percent higher during some years in the 1990s if the negative climate impacts had not occurred. The study suggests that reducing the man-made sources of pollution could increase harvest growth.
