You haven't shown shit in this thread Bodi. You've implicated livestock and posted a video of introduced rodents. Last time I was in a dust storm, it was in the Mallee region of central Australia, where water extraction for irrigation dries the land, where clearing of trees for farmland raises the water table and increases soil salinity, and exposes the soil to wind erosion, and the grazing, or feral populations, of hoofed animals destroys the microbial crust the keeps fertile topsoil together.
Each of these factors is anthropogenic.
Wind erosion caused by overgrazing isn't anything? Look, wild animals and natural processes play a significant role in dust storm formation. Large herbivores like as bison, antelope, and wild horses are overgrazing landscapes, stripping vegetation and exposing soil to wind erosion Mongolia used to be lush
