I know, right?? Next thing you know, they're gonna start calling tropical storms "monsoons", and sugary treats "candy"! I hear they're even teaching our kids Arabic Numerals in school these days, can you believe it??

Just give it some time. After the Arabic word for sand storm takes hold and more people use it, here in the USA, some will complain of cultural appropriation and people will go back to calling them sand storms

Respectfully, in meteorology we call this particular type of dust storm “haboob”. We also use other words in science that are of Arabic descent, such as monsoon, algebra, algorithm, and more. See also coffee, serendipity, and zero. It might be worth reflecting on the origin of your strong response.

That was quite the haboob we had. We also got lots of rain, lightening and thunder. Down the street the lightening hit a tree and it caught on fire. I’m in Glendale.

I worked for the ASU football team from spring 01 to fall 03. We got caught in a couple of those on the practice field. I've never felt a pain like it. Like getting sandblasted for 30 seconds, and youre pulling that shit outta your nostrils and eyebrows for 2 weeks after

To be fair, it's taken decades of willful ignorance by many self-interested people for the climate to get as bad as it is. He's just the rotten cherry on top.
