U.N. see new peril in Asia's huge brown cloud

This article was full of information. It seemed to give more information than it explained. It just kept adding more information and didn't really explain what any of it meant. At least, that's how I felt. Any explanations seemed brief and didn't seem to give put the facts at a regular-reader's level. I felt that this was a more scientific article that could have been written so that everyday readers could have followed along.

This article had quotes from many experts. I liked that they got quotes from scientists that actually worked on the study of this brown cloud. I felt like it gave the article a little more credibility by getting the people who are actually doing the research. I think they could have included maybe one quote from a person living in Asia to see if they are seeing any of the effects from the brown cloud. This kind of quote might have added a little something extra to the article.

Overall, I just felt like this article was full of scientific jargon that was not "dumbed down" for regular readers. I could follow some of it, but every time I thought I was understanding a concept, they threw something else at me. It flowed, but it was kind of choppy and not very well planned out.
