UN Warns of 70% Desertification By 2025
AFP: UN warns of 70 percent desertification by 2025:
"Drought could parch close to 70 percent of the planet's soil by 2025 unless countries implement policies to slow desertification, a senior United Nations official has warned.
'If we cannot find a solution to this problem... in 2025, close to 70 percent could be affected,' Luc Gnacadja, executive secretary of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, said Friday."

All comments on this blog are moderated, meaning they don't appear until approved by me. So, when your comment doesn't appear immediately, *DO NOT* throw a hissy-fit and assume I'm refusing negative comments (yes, it really happened). I approve pretty much everything that isn't obvious SPAM, negative or not, and I promise you that will include your hissy-fit comments, accusing me of a grand conspiracy to squash dissenting ideas (also really happened). The result, of course, being that you will look like a fool, and the rest of us will laugh heartily at your stupidity.
