A recent report on climate modeling suggested that African
Desert expansion is due to many external factors and local
activity is a very small part of the problem. Mostly it is
due to climate change and a global view might be most useful.
If this is true then one thing we can do is improve our local
ecology and change our agricultural systems/industrial
activities.
I don't think this suggests we should ignore immediate problems
in Africa, just that our local activities may be more connected
to Africa than we expect. The problem could be "us".
