Is the Somalia drought caused by global warming, even partly? Voice of America reports, with Rebecca Ward (can’t find the “non-autoplay” button in the HTML; see the thing below the fold):
Deserts are increasing pretty much in line with global warming. Somalia is out of sight and out of mind for a lot of people. But people get cranky when there’s not enough food to survive. In the US we will have enough to worry about when we have to decide if we just write off AZ, NV, OK, and TX because of drought. Not to mention places like Miami and New Orleans because of sea level rise.
Nice video. African ecological collapse is/will be one of the most shocking and horrific trials the human race will ever face. The solutions will have to come from a rock-solid commitment of the african peoples to preserving their ecological birthright.
Top down solutions from Europe or the U.S. are not going anywhere.

We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.

Thanks!
I think it was spam.
And how does what you said, Crew, have to do with the topic?
