   And California is a prime example of greediness, overpopulation and stupid   
   sprawls:   
      
   No Turning Back after Desertification: The Future of Southern California   
      
   Unsustainable agricultural practices that contribute to desertification   
   include over-cultivation, overgrazing and poor irrigation practices.   
   Deforestation also plays a role, as a decrease in vegetation results in a loss   
   of topsoil.  All of these    
   activities are the result of the increasing imbalance between an expanding   
   human population and an environment ill equipped to sustain it.  The growing   
   population is not the direct cause of desertification but it has led to the   
   misuse of the land on a    
   massive scale. Our rapidly increasing population has changed the former   
   balance upon which the survival of agriculture depends, such as long   
   uncultivated periods to allow the land to regain its fertility.

   I wonder if anyone in California can deny climate change. It is said Los   
   Angeles was the model of sprawl for the rest of the country, and perhaps the   
   world. Too much Hollywood, too many freeways, too many cars.
