LOL - I never said man created a drought  Man's changing the environmental ecology by tilling thousands of acres of soil was indeed the sole cause of subsequently losing all that soil when that man-altered environment was subjected to normal environmental variances. |
YOU! brought up Carter as having a deep understanding of the mid east and when I pointed out some of his stated understanding that's going on a weird tangent?
and w/o a severe draught and global warming that happened during the early 30's the soil would have remained where it was. I understand it led to many innovations in farming specifically rotating crops and going away from deep soil tilling but it's like arguing the chicken or the egg in so far as man being the sole cause... IMO
