Drought, growing population and war are factors affecting desertification. They have their tremendous impacts; however, they can be solved. Causes Drought is one of the most related factors to desertification. It is defined as a long period of time when there is little or no rain. Drought can be caused by not receiving rain over a period of time. This is because

the explosive population growth is fodder for the flames of communism. Control world population growth becomes a strategic objective of national security, and Ehrlich's article is beautifully. The article is written at the suggestion of David Brower, executive director of the Sierra Club. Before that Ehrlich has only small publications on insects, and a short article, 1967, in the New Scientist one magazine rather sensational disclosure, which is already talking about the population bomb using crude
