What's a little dust? Arizona has plenty ...

Seems Colorado has stolen some of Arizona's dust.

And they're claiming that dust helped cause an early snow melt in Colorado?

The dust is less reflective than snow and so reduces the overall reflectivity of the area, allowing for more of the sun’s energy to warm, and subsequently melt, the snow pack. A similar effect of dark soot falling on Arctic snow is thought to speed melting there.

Now you know that our government keeps insisting that global warming doesn't exist and we all know Georgie-boy Bush is working hard to 'pertect' us all and keep us in safety (even if he has to not-torture us to do so).

So really, if Colorado was going to take our dust the least they could have done is give us some of their snow instead of letting it melt that way ...
