				<p><strong>Revivify!<p><br>
Global Heating will revivify the deserts.<p>
More water vapor means more rain in more places.<p>
The Sahara, the Gobi and the New Mexican deserts will shrink.<p>
Get ready for abundance!!!

More water vapor means more rain in more places.<br>
Not neccisarily.<p>
It could just as easily mean that the increased temperature causes the clouds to rise high enough that they condense and rain out, in the middle of the ocean.<p>
As was experienced recently with the 2005 drought in the Amazon rainforrest.<p>
Not to mention, intense heatwaves kill vegetation.<br>
And the less vegetation, the more likely that deserts will increase.<p>
As is, we're in danger of having the Amazon become a Savanna like Africa.</p></br></p></p></p></br></p></p></a></p></p></p></p></strong></p>

				<p><strong>Great article from the Washington Post<p>Water is an important issue and we must pressure the presidential candidates to address it!<p>
Did you know that the cost of cleaning up the Great Lakes would actually SAVE billions of dollars in the long-term? Using economic studies, we can show politicians that it actually makes financial sense to take action!<p>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
Preliminary estimates show that between August 1, 2006 and July 30, 2007, some 3,707 square miles (9,600 square kilometers) of rainforest were cleared, a 31 percent drop from 2006 when 5,419 sq ml (14,040 sq km) were lost (2006 figures were recently revised from 13,100 sq km). Deforestation rates have fallen sharply -- 65 percent -- since 2004 when 10,590 sq mi (27,429 sq km) were destroyed.
