War, Depression, Climate, Dust Bowl. Do these puzzle peices really fit together?

I read an article about another possible dust bowl in the USA Today. It made me think, isn't it kind of funny (or maybe ironic) the way history repeats itself. Just think about it. The dust bowl of the 1930's happened during the Great Depression which happened right after WWI. This was one of the hardest times our country has ever faced. What is going on right now? Now we are fighting in not only 1 war but 2, and now in basically a post war depression, and possibly having another dust bowl. But this story has more to it than that. It also has to do with climate change patterns (not Global Warming).

What caused the Great Depression? I know this is not the only cause, but one of the biggest reasons was the end of World War I and the economic decline that followed. This is the way of war in the U.S. except for WWII. It starts with an economic boom leading up to and during the war due to the needs of the Nations fighting the war. Then an economic decline at the end of the war due to the decreased needs for certain products. It has happened over and over again not only to the U.S., but to many other nations throughout history. But the Great Depression really doesn't have much do with the cause of the dust bowl. That is what makes it so ironic.

The dust bowl or dirty 30's had much more to do with climate change and the severe drought that was happening at that time. I believe the weather habbens in patterns. I do not believe in global warming. I think it is all a scam, a way for people to make money claiming that the way we live our lives is going to melt the polar ice caps. This is all a load of crap. Thanks Al Gore. I do believe that some day the polar ice caps will melt, but we are not the cause of it. It is caused by the earth naturally changing. Some time after the ice caps melt I believe we will also have another ice age. If we are still here will we call it global cooling cause by not using enough energy or living too green. Even regional climates change. Just think about today's middle east. At some point in time it was also one of the most fertile lands on our planet. Have you ever heard of the Garden of Eden? We might literally live in the desert some day.
