An interesting analysis of the original cause of the Darfur war/conflict/genocide. An excerpt: More recent computer modelling has suggested that rain patterns over Africa are influenced rather by ocean temperatures, and those in turn reflect global warming, and the rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
