More Trouble On The Way, See The Map. by panafrican(m): 5:37am On Oct 05, 2011 |
it looks like the whole continent will become a desert in less than a century. As forest is disappearing at an increasing rate, millions of people from dry lands will migrate southward de facto, more bloody conflits will follow. Take a look a this scary map.

All part of planetary climate shifts. This is not the first time its happened in Africa. The Desert was actually a green land back in the day. Don't worry we have airplanes now. Just buy your ticket and form Refugee in Europe. |

wow. anyway, people can always migrate elsewhere as they're currently doing now. even the out of africa theory confirms this. |

it is because all the wood goes to India, China, and France. The big companies come in, buy all the lands, and go chop chop the trees. Besides regular citizens make the trees go chop chop. |

Where to move to when Africa becomes a desert? South America could be a good place. See the world forests map. Source: http://sjegeog.wikispaces.com/file/view/world-map-ecoregions.png |

@PanAfrican, This is not a time to despair. 100 years give us enough latitude to devise ways of arresting the desertification process. If the sea can be reclaimed so also can a desert. The Israelis have achieved this, the Arabs are busy at it, so what's holding back the black African? "But in the past five decades, development experts estimate that as many as 2 million people have moved to reclaimed lands in the Sinai and Sahara deserts. Such desert plots now account for almost 25 percent of Egypt's 8 million acres under cultivation, these same experts say." -- http://articles.sfgate.com/2007-12-19/news/17274599_1_egypt-reclaim-reclamation |

eguerilla, the black african has begun it way before the egyptian. Read about the green belt in Niger. It is now being destroyed though, that is the problem. Nobody is really in control of those countries, just a bunch of rubber stamps to keep the resources flowing. |

eGuerrilla: eGuerrilla, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read this post. panafrican: Panafrican, the problem with that map is that it assumes the rainforest will still be there in 100 years. |
