Summary:
Smog, soot and other pollutants are causing a haze to spread over Asia blocking sunlight. This has lowered crop yield for many farms across Asia. This cloud has affected the rivers and the health of many people in the area.

Response:
This is horrible and it needs to stop now. Look at the picture it looks like there is smoke in the air. 340,000 people die a year due to this smog and crops are being reduced this is not good. It affects us all the cloud drifts and goes to Japan or even California. The smog blocks the sun and in one city sunlight levels have dropped by 20% since the 70's. There needs to be a solution because wearing a mask around all day isn't an option.
