"The clouds – which stretch for thousands of miles over Asia and have even reached across the Pacific to North America – are rising from a rapidly growing dust bowl in northern China that far outstrips the notorious one in the United States in the 1930s."

Our dust bowl in the 1930s was caused by all our gas guzzling SUVs right? HA

The dust bowl in the '30s was caused by poor cultivation techniques, which have since been corrected, as I understand. The Chinese should study it and prevent further desertification, if they know what's good for them.
