Likelyhood that Trump gets blamed for this?

Nobody even acknowledges the fact that other African soil sent this dust here. African dirt gets sent to Caribbean, United States and elsewhere but who gets the blame?

Saharan dust traveling across the Atlantic is actually pretty common

This is why, like every year, we don't storm track much of anything in July.

Well played sir.

This happens every year. During Harmattan in West Africa it’s rare to be able to see the sun due to all the dust in the air.

Was in Jamaica a couple of years ago. Every thing was Hazy the whole time. Looked like a light layer if fog in the distant horizon

I understand how it is possible, but one would think that the moisture from the ocean would "weigh" the sand and dust down so to speak. Guess not.
Found an article explaining it.
quote:
Atmospherically, the dust sits in what meteorologists call the Saharan air layer, a hot and dry layer of the atmosphere that sits directly above cooler and more humid air above the Atlantic Ocean. This hot, dusty air puts a stop to any thunderstorms that may develop in the moist layer beneath it. In the summer in the tropics, a cap of Saharan dust can temporarily suppress hurricane formation or keep storms that have formed from potentially getting stronger. Hurricane seasons dominated by a large number of Saharan dust events tend to see a lower number of storms develop.

So this is nature's chemtrail to stop bad weather?

Bottom line is someone needs to water the desert.

the question is... how can i get high off of this dust?
Posted on 6/16/20 at 9:11 am to LaBR4

Remember when the climate experts told us this would be a more active than most hurricane season? May 21st
This is what kills me about the climate change/global warming people. We are one event away from another ice age with a volcanic eruption or meteor strike.
