Major #dust storm today in the #LithiumTriangle , one of the driest places in the world. Although minor dust activity is frequent, activity of this scale does happen in local winter.

I was a co-author in the first study that tried to characterize these events : doi.org/10.1002/jgrd...

🛰️🌍🧊🐧
In the #LithiumTriangle area today in NW Argentina, dust activity in the Dead Man dry lake (which says everything about conditions in this place).
Because emission is as such elevated place, dust is injected in the mid-troposphere were winds can carry it long distances including to Antarctica.

❌ Why is the #US preparing a military intervention against #Bolivia⁉️

1) Their humiliating defeat in #Iran has shattered myth of #US invincibility.

2) #Bolivia's general strike shows the rest of #LatinAmerica how to overthrow #US puppet regimes.

3) #Bolivia is part of the #LithiumTriangle

The #LithiumTriangle of #Chile, #Bolivia, and #Argentina holds over 56% of global lithium resources, making it vital for #EVs and clean energy.

But political, economic, and geological challenges complicate its potential.

'The extraction lowers water tables, and because freshwater often sits on top of salty water, this has the potential to dry up the lakes, wetlands, springs, and rivers that flourish where the underground water reaches the surface'

'Global mining conglomerates are competing to grab the metal by pumping that #water to the surface and evaporating it in the sun to concentrate the lithium carbonate that it contains'

'According to the U.S. Geological Survey, more than half of the world’s lithium reserves are dissolved in ancient underground water within the #LithiumTriangle'

The "Donroe Doctrine" is expanding. Threats to the Panama Canal, Mexican lithium, and Colombian sovereignty show a pattern: non-white lands are being targeted for American "security." This is ethnic disregard on a global scale. #LatinAmerica #LithiumTriangle
