Greenhouse gases from fossil fuels causing droughts in Africa

Africa is a serious drought prone continent and has suffered numerous tragic droughts over the last 500 years. These droughts are natural occurrences. They are not caused by carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. There is no trend in the severity of these droughts and the current one is not the most severe. African scholars have written to refute the IPCC’s effort to associate the current drought with their global warming agenda. One of these scholarly articles was recently published in the Bangkok Post. Also, the dropping of water levels in Lake Victoria and other lakes there is a known effect of a cascade of dams on the Nile and cannot in any way be related to the use of fossil fuels. The New York Times columnist who makes these alarming charges is the same individual who once fell for the oldest trick in Cambodian brothels and paid a large sum of money to “purchase freedom” for a young prostitute and then wrote a column about his heroic deed. This is the level of gullibility we are dealing with in this column as well. One should use a big dose of critical thinking when consuming this kind of information.
