One might well come to that conclusion after reading the first paragraph from this article<\/a> from the UK’s Independent<\/em> (via ClimateArk<\/a>). Yet the idea isn’t so “flaky”:<\/p>\n …the research – partly funded by the German government – may provide the solution to one of the world’s most enduring pollution mysteries: the origin of much of the vast clouds of fine dust in the atmosphere. It suggests that more than half of the dust is a rich soup of organic detritus, including particles of decaying leaves, animal hair, dead skin and dandruff.<\/p>\n The research is published in the April issue of Science magazine by Dr Ruprecht Jaenicke of Mainz University – who has been leading the study for the past 15 years – and says “it has got to be taken very seriously”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I fear that the right-wing “junk science” crowd will be crowing about this one… so, repeat after me, folks — this does not mean that global warming is simply a “natural phenomenon” that we should do nothing to address.<\/p>\n Techorati tags: climate change<\/a><\/p>\n
