NewSci, not surprisingly, makes almost no comment about that, pretending to be distracted by the ability to detect shipping lanes by their NO2 signatures.
Which one is DNC Headquarters?
That's very pretty with the bright blues and reds.

The only hot spot in FL is Jax, probably cuz of the base. Good thing you got out of there!
Interesting....
Think I'll take a long ride in my SUV this weekend!
I audited a business man just back from China. He said it was badly polluted a hundred miles away from the bigger cities.
