The new Dust Bowl that even the BBC blames on green climate policies

    Date: 01/12/20
    Geoff Hill, The Conservative Woman

In his novel The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck wrote about the US Dust Bowl of the 1930s and how families were driven off the land. It scored him a Pulitzer and was cited by the Nobel committee in awarding him the 1962 prize for literature.

In the wake of the Great Depression, the Midwestern United States suffered the hottest and driest weather on record and crops failed. Cattle had been allowed to graze freely across the plains, even in the dry months, eating what little cover there was, leaving the soil exposed.

As a result, across an area of 50million acres, wind blew the topsoil into intense dust storms sometimes called ‘haboobs’.
