New Global DIRT warning?

Postby MacUser » January 22nd, 2008, 3:45 am

The lowdown on dirt: It's disappearing
Disappearing dirt rivals global warming as an environmental threat

The planet is getting skinned.

While many worry about the potential consequences of atmospheric warming, a few experts are trying to call attention to another global crisis quietly taking place under our feet.

"Globally, it's pretty clear we're running out of dirt," Montgomery said.

Farmers (the real ones, not the agri-business guys) have been saying this for decades. Scientists are just catching up.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

Does the Dirt disappear or just move around to less friendly or accessible places?

I guess the bottom of the ocean would be considered a "less friendly or accessible place" for farming. :)

Isnt this just the same thing as Erosion?

The whole reason they imported Kudzu into the south years ago (and created a worse problem).

Yep. Bad farming practices equal increased erosion.

You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
