Good morning,
I have mentioned before in Living Green that so-called
global warming is the least of the world's problems, even
if it is real, because there are so many other more im-
mediate crises which will have catastrophic consequences
for the world if not addressed.
One which gets very little attention in the mass media is
soil erosion.
With over six billion people on the planet the world's soil
is put under great demand to provide food, and all of that
use is speeding the Earth toward infertility.
The www.telegraph.co.uk gives some frightening predictions,
all of which are backed up by much better observations and
numbers than global warming claims.
Please scroll down for more.
Thanks for reading,

British farming soil could run out within 60 years, leading
to a catastrophic food crisis and drastically higher prices
for consumers, scientists warn.
Fertile soil is being lost faster than it can be replenished
and will eventually lead to the "topsoil bank" becoming
empty, an Australian conference heard.
Chronic soil mismanagement and over farming causing erosion,
climate change and increasing populations were to blame for
the dramatic global decline in suitable farming soil.
An estimated 75 billion tonnes of soil is lost annually
with more than 80 per cent of the world's farming land
"moderately or severely eroded", the Carbon Farming con-
ference heard.
A University of Sydney study, presented to the conference,
found soil is being lost in China 57 times faster than it
can be replaced through natural processes.
In Europe that figure is 17 times, in America 10 times while
five times as much soil is being lost in Australia.
The conference heard world soil, including European and
British soils, could vanish within about 60 years if drastic
action was not taken.
In reality, however, increased land pressures aimed at com-
pensating global production losses would likely mean it will
run out faster, they added.
