Industrial pollution coming from Asia is having a wider effect on global weather and climate than previously realised, research suggests.

It is also enhancing the growth of large clouds, which play a key role in regulating climate globally.

Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the researchers say impacts may be felt as far away as the Arctic.
