Minerals blown off the Sahara fuel the microbes that undergird the Bahaman ecosystem
Dust from the Sahara also fertilizes the Amazon rain forest.
Next week’s NYT headline: Trump steals life-giving soil from poor Africans and gives it to his loyal supporters in Southern US.
Also helps reduce the Hurricane threat.
Could possibly trigger severe flooding across the SE US...................

Global Dusting Change.
We are goners.

Maybe that dust can help replenish the Cape Cod sand dunes, too.
The dust storms from Africa also fertilize the Atlantic Ocean and the soil of the New World. There should be good fishing in the Atlantic this year.
“Dust” or “fine sand” do not “nurture” anything.
Nice to know it may reduce hurricane strength/probability.
Probably not. The ECMWF model forecasts heavy rain Wednesay and Thursday.
I suppose the various nations of the Sahara will now make a claim on parts of the US as “It is part of OUR LAND!”
I am surprised that Arizona has not made a claim on the western half on New Mexico as it is really Arizona dust!
LOL
So true!
As Pliny the Elder said, “There’s always something new out of Africa.”
Uh...it’s going to the SE. Better have a extremely large telescopic lens
Is this like the Korean flame throwing squirrels? Or the murder hornets? Or the blood sucking monkeys from West Mifflin, PA?
Sunrise ... Sunset
Living on the Gulf I enjoy both
