Classic Case of an "expert" getting it wrong. At least he saw the truth and kept moving forward. but this is why you can't give governments too much authority when dealing with chaotic and not easily understood systems usint what is "common knowledge" as a starting point:

Yeah, this is very interesting. If I understood him correctly, desertification may have released more carbon than all of industrial society combined? I have also been wondering recently if the change in water exchange at the surface of earth may affect global water vapor concentration, which would be a bigger driver of climate change than CO2. But, apparently, they would come together with desertification, compounding the issue and obscuring the causes.

40,000 elephants and they moved the people off the land without even a shrug. I wonder if they'll change their minds the same way about keeping humanity around after they cull 4,000,000,000.
