That's an interesting article.

There was one statement that caused me to pause and think
for a little while.

The entire world has a stake in China's winning the war
with the advancing deserts given its economic leadership
role. But winning will not be easy.


Would the fight against the encroaching desert be the same
as fighting mother nature? Would they be fighting what is
something naturally occurring?

Or is it correcting a screw-up? And is their solution only
temporary and will it cause other problems in return?

What would a Taoist do? <g><ng>

Mother nature has already taught us how to responsibly care
for earth. Apparently nobody is listening...
We know how to farm responsibly. Unfortunately everything
is based upon supply and demand without regulations of
methods.

Well, I knew why the Yellow River was yellow, but this seems to go beyond loose loess.
