Illegal logging, forest fires and climate change bring the tipping point Here's what you might be missing out. 1. Desertification, as defined in Chapter 12 of Agenda 21 and in the International Convention on Desertification, is the degradation of the land in arid, semi-arid and dry sub- humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities. Desertification expands in areas on front line of climate change. The latest IPCC report does not clearly link climate change to desertification, but it does say desertification is a function of both human activity and climate variability and change Cutting down forests degrades these low-pressure systems, essentially turning off the pump. Large-scale deforestation is thus believed to be a major contributor to the extreme drought in Brazil. Scientists have long known that vegetation has a profound effect on weather.
