Is Darfur Crisis related to Global warming? or Is violance in Darfur worsened by Global warming?


Yes I am confused too but there is some truth and a relationship to this after looking at the above data. I gathered this information while I was checking out Live Earth concert that is slated for 07-07-07. (It happens only once in hundred years!)
Decades of drought helped trigger Darfur's violence as rival groups fought over scarce water and arable land.Now, experts fear the war and its refugee crisis are making the environment even worse, leaving the land increasingly uninhabitable and intensifying tensions with no end to the drought in sight.
Darfur's tragedy could be repeated in much of North Africa and the Middle East, experts fear, because growing populations are straining a very limited water supply. Data show rainfall steadily declining in the region, possibly because of weather changes linked to global warming.
Well keep that in mind when you throw that plastic bag away next time. We may never know what we are igniting!
