  1. Gobi Desert was once full of green. Over-grazing to sustain population growth is what turned it into an inhabitable desert. As a result, some invaded or migrated southward into Northern China, others migrated westward all the way to Eastern Europe by 6th centuries. Most of Europe was native forests until large-scale agriculture and herding altered the landscape. The migrants arriving in the US from Central America, or in Europe arriving from Africa and the Middle-east are also fundamentally caused by over-population, climate change, drought, deforestation, and conflicts stemming from those factors. Put differently, if we cannot figure out population control and over-exploitation of land, we'll all end up like Haiti, Madagascar, or Somalia. Since the land can only support a finite amount od population, one can argue that it's a form of natural culling.
