The bureaucrats at the United Nations desertification agency are blaming us for droughts, as the Associated Press reports:
Climate change to make droughts longer, more common, says UN
The frequency and duration of droughts will continue to increase due to human-caused climate change, with water scarcity already affecting billions of people across the world, the United Nations warned in a report Wednesday.
The U.N. desertification agency, which is currently hosting a conference of parties in Abidjan in Ivory Coast, estimates that roughly one third of the world’s population — 2.3 billion people — is already facing water scarcity, with that number expected to double by 2050.
Although no region is spared from drought, the report noted that Africa is the hardest hit continent, with the Americas, India and Australia also highlighted as areas of particular current and future concern.
I wonder how the experts at the U.N., in the media, in academia, and in government think 33% of the Earth already is covered by desert. It certainly wasn't caused by humans and fossil fuels. There were obviously long droughts.

I call 10 Pinocchios on this. There is still as much water on or in the earth as when it was created. If not, where did it go, to Mars, to Venus,to the moon?
Two hundred years ago, the west part of the North American Continent was called THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT for a reason.
Sandals all inclusive resort?
Not only that, but globull warming doesn’t cause droughts either because melting ice caps and glaciers puts more water into the water cycle, more rain everywhere.
Their claims are always non-sensical and contradictory.
Yup, between Covid and global warming, we’re all gonna die! Man the lifeboats!
So many fools already accept man-made “climate change/global warming” as “settled science.”
Too many in govt and private sectors.
