Yes, we could see the Sahara Dust plumes in Hawaii both in atmospheric
optical transparency and IIRC the Mauna Loa CN count (condensation nuclei)

All deserts have plumes and so does every thing else from sea salt to
industrial emissions. Of concern is the increased loading of these
systems, their interaction, and global change accelerating these
processes. Not so much as a left wing rant but the accumulation of data
and the effort to understand what it means. If only one wing flaps we go
in circles and get no where.

Not to say that I am always balanced

dust."
