re: desertification dust

This is nothing new.

Sometimes you can see great plumes of dust from North Africa and the Gobi

Desert flying across the world on satellite photos, clear as a bell.

It is estimated that a huge amount of the dust in some (US) areas has

African or Chinese origin. And of course, some of our dust may even end up

there. In the final analysis, 'dust' can end up being a crucial part of

fertile soil, so ultimately, its not as threatening as it seems. Mold only

becomes the issue that kills and hurts people it is when that natural mold

is *amplified* by bad human behavior or greed.
