Here we are yesterday outside Labor MP Peter Khalil’s office in Coburg on the 2nd week of a Tuesday vigil to phase out Fossil Fuels. Keep tooting people. We look forward to when we can just enjoy the local Dog parks rather than sit outside an MP office every week. Labor says they do climate action while approving new coal and gas like North West Shelf extension that will cause 4.3 billion tonnes of climate pollution. That is a climate 💣

Today's (Tuesday, 13 May) dust storm development over the southwest US was extensive.

This visible light weather satellite loop shows several things:

- The worst part of the dust storm developed over southern New Mexico, extreme west Texas (El Paso), and extreme northern Chihuahua, Mexico.

- High winds were quite widespread, and as the sun angle gets low just before sunset you can see dust being kicked up over the northeast corner of Arizona, southern California, and northern Baja California, Mexico.

- The Greer fire in east Arizona, close to the New Mexico state line, is very active and grows quickly with an obvious smoke plume. After sunset, the very end of the satellite loop switches to infrared, and a large black dot (heat signature) replaces the smoke plume.

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
