There is evidence here that my vision of the effects of climate change are
closer to the truth than those who believe it will result in Britain
re-entering an ice age :-(

"The deserts of north Africa are threatening to leap the Mediterranean and
creep through Spain, according to government figures made public as part of a
national campaign to halt desertification."

I have just been to Google's map site for an interesting 3 second look
at Spain. Early days yet? Or did they get their software from the same
place as the BBC?

What I was trying to find out was how much of Spain is already
officially
desert or semi-desert.

Should we expect the Gonadione to know that the Sahel is a region that
extends and decreases cyclically?

The Sahel is a long way from Spain, but anyway if you read the article
it also blames the deertification on [British] tourists.
