Everyone only knows to blame the dust because that's all the media will reveal -- including the Weather Channel. The big question is ... why so much dust for such a long time -- and I already mentioned the other factors involved. You always have to ask "why" something is happening -- and not just stop at the dust. Note, the "dust" did not push the ITCZ farther south and it does not affect the cooling ENSO and PDO cycles -- the SUN does that.
