UN issues desertification warning
Tens of millions of people could be driven from their homes by encroaching deserts, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia, a report says. The study by the United Nations University suggests climate change is making desertification "the greatest environmental challenge of our times". If action is not taken, the report warns that some 50 million people could be displaced within the next 10 years. Global warming now threatens 2 billion on the edges of deserts and 3 billion on the coastlines, imagine what will happen when the 2 billion from the deserts are forced inland while the 3 billion from the coastline are forced inland – that’s a lot of frightened angry people.
