Beijing hopes for a rainy day

In fact, China is trying to create more rainy days. The countryside could use rain as rain, of course, but the capital wants it as an “air shower” to scrub pollution.

Meanwhile, at least in the Sierras and Intermountain West, U.S. pollution (hello, California) seems to reduce rainfall.
