365 Days of Climate Awareness 246 – Egypt and Climate Change
Like most other countries which developed economically in the late 20th century, Egypt’s CO2 emissions are tiny compared with the United States, China, India and Europe–the major industrialized countries.

365 Days of Climate Awareness 245 – The Nile and Climate Change
The primary threat to the flow of the Nile with a warming planet is water loss, though not necessarily due to decreasing rain.
