Yes, and the sahara plumes have been unusually bad
and extensive this year. I've been keeping an eye on
global satellite imagery for about a decade, and there's
nothing subtle about the haze and smoke this year. It's
been bad.

Perhaps because there are now more people than ever before
packed onto this globe, burning more stuff than ever
before? nah.... Not to mention the large amounts of
marginal land now being farmed, like sub-saharan regions,
or the burning the Amazon river basin (land that has no
business being farmed in the first place) - these all
contribute to dust and plumes.

Using the term 'left-wing' - like 'right-wing', 'liberal',
'conservative' or 'nazi' in an argument almost guarantees
you've lost it as you haven't said ****.
