Am I the only one that thinks this is ironic in that it comes one or two days after news article espousing the quality of Grenada’s air!??
If recent history is any indication, this is not Sahara dust. It is coal fly ash dispersed from air traffic for the purpose of heating and drying the lower atmosphere and the ocean. This is why the sea surface temps have been above average for almost 2 years. I guess Grenada deserves to choke. They keep stupidly signing on with UN global programs designed to destroy the earth in the name of saving it.
Do you live on Grenada? YOU ever clean the RED Saharan dust from you house?? It’s a real thing not some invention of thise who believe conspiracy theories.
If you have seen any RED dust in the past few years, you’ve got better eyes than most people. This dust is grey and so fine it stays airborne for weeks.
