(Not for the earthquake.) The desertification of China and the massive erosions are often responses to western demands for goods. The best example is cashmere. Remember how in the early 90s, if you wanted to buy a cashmere sweater, it cost you something like $75-$100? And now it costs maybe $40? The chinese developed a mechanical means of shearing cashmere goats, which meant that they radically ramped up cashmere production. We ate it up, and a huge new market was born. Only the problem is that the cashmere goat grazes like crazy and has pointed hooves/feet/whatever goats have that pulverize the ground under them. So they eat all the ground cover, then churn up the ground. The result is instant desert, instant mudslide potential, soil erosion, lower food production, etc. Our desire for a cute top is basically turning a huge part of china into some Okie dust bowl out of Steinbeck.<BR/><BR/>Also, everyone knows the earthquare was caused by Lei Wulong attempting the Phoenix Illusion, missing his target and striking the ground.George F.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04198363103575085084noreply@blogger.com
