From the Paper:

"The meteorology of the earth is made up of a comprehensive system. Within the last century, the delicate balance of this system has been gravely and seriously affected by environmental pollution. Air pollution in the form of acid rain and global warming has dramatically changed the earth's natural atmosphere and has been and will continue to negatively hurt the environment as well as the people in it."
