Acid rain caused by industrial pollution could actually help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of agriculture, say scientists.
Research led by the Open University's Dr Vincent Gauci suggests that sulphur-based acid rain from atmospheric pollution could cut the methane emissions associated with cultivating rice by almost a quarter.
Tonne for tonne, methane is more than 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of global warming.
