An heavily slanted article on fog in Africa's savanna lands:

Written by hacks based in the USA, one might bear in mind that when
their states were run by well organised subsistence farmers, the quality
of life was idyllic. And the teeming, extensive varieties of flora and
fauna was legendary.

The life of subsistence farmers tends to be hard, by definition it consists
of work and sleep with pretty damn boring food (bread/[porridge with
occassional meat and a few seasonable veg.)



Now the powers that be there want fire raisers imprisoned. They also
want the farms producing genetically modified crops. As if it wasn't bad
enough to turn thousands of square miles of arable land into single crop
production.

No, urban growth has turned thousands of square miles into single crop
production. Urban growth is comprised of all those people who couldn't face
being subsistance farmers anymore and got out of it to dead end jobs as
machine minders in the cities.
Subsistance farmers cannot support cities
