Worst Yellow Dust Storm in A Decade Hits South Korea
Its that time of the year again in Korea:
An extraordinarily strong yellow dust storm originating from the inland deserts in northern China and Mongolia blanketed all of South Korea on Monday, prompting authorities to issue a yellow dust warning for Seoul and almost all parts of the country for the first time in a decade.
The density of fine dust particles smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter, known as PM 10, soared to 1,174 micrograms per cubic meter in Daegu on Monday morning, the worst level since Nov. 12, 2010, when the corresponding figure reached 1,047 micrograms in the southeastern city.

Of course, Beijing claims it’s all Korean dust…
Nah. They claim it’s Mongolian dust from the storm that ran through Beijing on 15 March 2021, bringing the AQI to 999.
The BBC said otherwise in 2019… https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48346344
It’s just those lying satellite photos that say otherwise…

setnaffa, you hate Chinese that much?
maybe you’ll feel better after watching this man stomp on this dirty F* Ch*nk.

Lol at those cowards who watch this nonchalantly and close their door.
Korea Man, why are you hassling Setnaffa?
He has shown nothing but love and respect for his Asian wife, her family, and her country.
In fact, why are you even hassling white people?
If you have a problem with violence against Asians, go hassle some blacks… though you will have to stand in line behind whites, Hispanics, Arabs, Persians, and Jews…
…and other blacks, who should be shown the front of the line.
Why did you even bring this up on Unpleasant Truth Tuesday?
CH, it’s because he forgot his reflective belt…
Ethnic Jews are actually Asian. So are Chechens, Afghans, Burmese, and many, many others.
What we find in America are a small subset of people who choose to never work and play well with others. They’re the ones that beat up weak folks, regardless of ethnicity, often just to gain power over their victims.
I work in an organization full of nearly every suntan, religion, and national origin. We all get along well enough to keep the company in business and bring in new customers.
I’m not certain why quoting the BBC makes me look like I hate Chinese people. Granted, I do hate communism; but I tend to think only the actual leaders are evil, the rest are just deluded.
However, if the BBC blaming Korean air pollution on Korea makes me look like a Sinophobe, I guess I had better knock it off.
Interesting that our so-called “Korea Man” chose not to read the article and didn’t even try to defend his alleged homeland…
setnaffa: You’re talking about something two years ago. I was talking about the storm from two weeks ago.
Odd. My full “nom de Internet” did not go through.
Maybe you left your nhenry in a little boy?
I’m suddenly reminded of an old, old story… Here’s a 1977 adaptation:
