Climate Change

From the BBC.

Excerpts, emphasis added.

"But Professor Thomas and colleagues found that no matter which general climate model data they used, their simulator came out with projections for dramatic increases in dune "activity" - they will start to erode and move as precipitation falls and wind speeds increase.

...

"By the end of the 21st Century, all the dunes from South Africa to Zambia and Angola are likely to be reactivated.

...

"Last week, an alliance of 21 UK-based charities and environment groups issued a report which claimed any G8 strategy to alleviate poverty in Africa was doomed to failure unless urgent action was taken to halt climate change."
