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.
The soil on the great plains would have remained where it was even during severe drought and severe wind if the normal prairie was still covering it. But the prairie wasn't there to hold the soil. Why? Because man removed it so he could plant crops.

My point is that man can indeed influence and change the environment, sometimes forever. Why does the Colorado River no longer flow to the Pacific Ocean? Why are there no passenger pigeons?
