@bair 2021 berichtete bereits Cicero (Ja ,die…) Aber das Thema stoffliche Abkehr von fossilen Molekülen ist ein risieges Problem . Ganz ohne Düngemittel wird es schwer mit einer kompletten Umstellung der Landwirtschaft. Wir benötigen eine klimaneutrale Kohlenstoffquelle , Energie alleine ist leider kein Ersatz. Deshalb setze ich mich immer wieder für #Biogas als brückenbaustein für die notwendigen Prozesse ein. Biogas liefert Moleküle , guter Speicher vielfältiger nutzbar als Wasserstoff. #h2 #solar #wind #ee #pv

Yet another dust storm over the southeast half of New Mexico, far west Texas, the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma panhandle, extending into Colorado and Kansas.

The dust is coming from prehistoric lake beds in northern Chihuahua, Mexico:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pal

"Presently its basin is a major source of airborne dust in the region."

With the severe drought conditions in this region, it takes far weaker winds to create these dust storms compared to previous decades. Visibility at my house is less than 1/2 mile.

Note that the dust is tan, but that the gypsum dust from White Sands is paler. A fire is burning in northeast Sonora, Mexico...the smoke plume is bluish. A fire develops in central New Mexico (Rio Grande valley, town of Socorro) at the end of the animation loop. app.watchduty.org/i/47153
