Why is desertification increasing at the same time as increased glacier and iceberg melting and higher water levels?
Desertification is greatest when the earth is cold. Cold air retains less water, so there is less precipitation. During the Ice Ages there were much larger areas of the earth covered in deserts. So either the earth is cooling down or the desertification trend being reported is wrong. But we know that scientists would never manipulate data to engage in scare mongering.
