Where I live, near Dallas, we've recently been experiencing the Saharan dust storms rolling off the east coast of Africa, where the hurricane embryos also enter the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ).
When the Iraqi oil fields were set on ablaze during the Iraq War, smoke from the conflagration was observed over the American Midwest within 27-hours!
The world truly is 'connected.' And what 'is' presently, may no longer 'be' what is in the future.
About ten years ago, the 'general circulation models', climate scientists used to help predict what a 'doubling' of atmospheric greenhouse gases would 'look like', ran to around 3,600-pages of Fortran-10 code.
They work to continually improve the 'math', but it's literally a 'global' challenge.
And it takes a 'Swamp' to pay for.
Be happy you don't live in Ruidoso. Especially on the Mescalero Apache Reservation.
Yes I've noticed how nearly all global warming that happening is taking place where no one lives. How convenient.
