We have updated our analysis of some nine years ago in which we drew attention to the presence of a finite ‘cosmic ray foreground’ to the then available map of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The analysis has been repeated with the most recent nine-year data. We argue that the foreground has been reduced but not to zero. Specifically, there are still features which relate to Galactic phenomena, in particular, the presence of a cosmic ray/CMB intensity correlation in Hydrogen gas ‘chimneys’ and symmetries with respect to the Galactic plane. However, the region of space examined by the BICEP2 group show no significant correlations.
