Poor China is a in a world of hurt these days with their pollution problems and water issues and it just keeps getting worse with Typhoon Season, Bird Flu and flooding. Additionally they have fires to worry about and dead zones void of sea life extending from their largest cities out some 200-miles.

But it gets worse as the desert itself is expanding and now climate researchers and Global Warming Alarmists say that as the tropics increase and the polar ice caps melt the deserts will grow and in China they are growing indeed and consuming several miles each year as the march towards major cities in China, actually threatening to completely over take them? But what can they do?

Well we know the Chinese are good at building walls and giant dams, yet can this actually keep the marching desert back? Man against Mother Nature? Indeed the Chinese are a very industrious people and they are bold in the face of adversity but can they challenge the mighty desert and win?

Perhaps so and perhaps not, as not human civilization has ever been able to do this before, yet the Chinese are no newcomers to hardship nor are they just any civilization? Can the Chinese win the war against the desert, which threatens to over take their civilization? Time will tell as the world watches, so consider this in 2006.
