I don't have a link for the CN data
as it was mentioned to be over a beer in the 80s during
a TGIF at the Hawaiian Institute for Geophysics by a atmospheric
chem person that I built a CN counter for.

Now that I think of it as far as I know, which isn't much about this,
the Sahara plume can be detected in south Florida and so Hawaii might be
a bit of a stretch. My guess is that it is the Gobi plume that Hawaii sees.

You know, it's funny that you should mention this.

When I fly from here to there I take the opportunity to look at the

Yes, and it seems that what it is, is what is not what is was, say in
the 70's. (blueness that is)

So I ask what are you going to do about it ?

Not you Eric B, as you wrote about it, but the rest (saa dom)?

Well I just had to bitch. I doubt most people notice or care.

Interesing that Mauna Loa - normally a pristine environment -
has noted the increased CN count. Not that I need them to tell
me this. You wouldn't happen to have a link on that? Something
to feed the pedants with.

As to what can be done - unfortunately nothing. Things will take
their course and likely continue get worse, at least short term.
Get used to it or move. It's just that, as you noted, it's now
global in scope and hard to escape from
