The science of the desert.

29 JANUARY 2010 – Not all climatologists seek the truth about global warming in comfortable university labs. Some look for evidence of desertification in the field. A dry, dusty, rocky field – in fact, something like a desert.

According to an AP dispatch in the Washington Post:

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.

In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.

He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for “drastic solutions” to global warming, and “not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change.”

So another expert is heard from. Just wait until his emails are leaked.
