Brian Fagan

Prof. Fagan from UCSB recently published the book: "The Great Warming".

He discusses the great droughts of a thousand years ago, likely the Mayas and other peoples in fragile ecosystems suffered collapses of their civilizations. Nowadays the world environment is likely to witness instead big migrations, like we are already seeing in Darfur and other dry places.

This is a timely book, from thinkers that have been worried about water shortages since a long time ago. Santa Barbara County residents have tried for many years to limit growth. Maybe now people will listen.
