...dust in the wind drives climate

Cuz, that's all we are...

Guess they’ll have to figure out a way to regulate dust. Of course, the amount of man-made dust is insignificant.

The EPA is already looking into this, they want to regulate the farmers inthe US over Dust Production. I am NOT kidding!

Dust, Wind, Dude

[Valpal1]

The EPA already has farm dust regulations in the pipeline. They are currently on hold pending Obama’s re-election. Along with mgp efficiency ratings for commercial vehichles and requiring CDL’s for driving farm equipment.

If Obama is re-elected, he will destroy agriculture like he has the economy.

[smokingfrog]

Yeah, I know.

They’re also worried about dust from trains transporting coal from the Powder River Basin to west coast ports (to be shipped to China).

Depends upon what is in the dust, especially if said dust is loaded with Pseudomonas syringae ESC 10 or 11. Animals incubate it in their cud. Their treading on fresh grass incubates it on bruised plant tissue and spreads it. As a sheath bacterium, it is UV resistant. It exudes one of the most powerful surfactants known to science that is extremely attractive to water. It is a proven and powerful bio-aerosol in droplet nucleation.

Yes, grazing can modify climate for good or ill on a continental scale, depending upon how it is done or not.

Interesting. But I don’t think one can just throw the work done by Milankovitch out the door.

I had one of those Milankovitch cycles when I was younger. 1000cc I believe. Used to take my girlfriend to the mall on it. Harley owners envied me.

[TigersEye]

If anyone knows dust it’s Kansas!

First time I have heard of it:

Pseudomonas syringae strain ESC-11 (006451) Fact Sheet

And 10 also

Summary

These two strains of naturally occurring bacteria are extremely similar in their composition and characteristics. They are used for preventing various fungal diseases that occur after harvest on apples, pears, and certain citrus fruits. Based on extensive testing and the methods used in applying the bacteria to the fruit, these bacterial strains are not expected to harm either humans or the environment when used in pesticide products. Furthermore, these fungicides have the potential to decrease the use of other, more toxic fungicides that they may replace.

Correct. Now for a real treat, consider Leviticus 26:3-4:

3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; 4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

If, in a nation without refrigeration, there was a mold problem in drying the fruit, there was no crop.

I could show you exactly how this works and then some in Shemitta, and more, but what do I know; I'm one of those stupid simpleton religious nuts.
