the whole southern african region is warming up and drying out. according to the best scientific data, this trend will become much worse if nothing is done. >> over the last many years, there was a lot of changes which actually could pick up from environmental point of view, so a lot of erosion in the area as well as a drop in the ground water table. we used to plant vegetable seeds, but it's totally dried out now. we can do nothing with this land, and also from a farming point of view, we have less water available for irrigation. >> here, environmental destruction is compounding the effects of global climate change. like a green skin covering bones and muscle, spekboom thicket used to shelter this desert land from the harsh sun and violent storms. its protective boughs and roots held 60% of the rain that fell and released it slowly like a sponge throughout the year. that skin, like you can see here on the left of the fence line, has been stripped bare by overgrazing. now water rushes off the bare soil in torrents, causing floods. once the rain sto

and as you can see from the southern poverty law center's chart, the last time we saw this number of armed nationalist groups was in the clinton years. it was a similar spike back in 1995, just as we are seeing today. now the president of the southern poverty law center has written a letter to the department of homeland security and the justice department recommending two departments combine resources to protect against an active aggression against the american government. now, these numbers jumped when president obama became president. they have now jumped again as he has taken on the national rifle association. the nra has done everything in its power to paint the president of the united states as some threat to gun owners everywhere. >> all that first-term lip service to gunowners is just part of a massive obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the second amendment during his second term. >> conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy. let's forget what the american people want, oh, it's president obama. it doesn't stop with the nra. the rhetoric of the

lot of growth and trip making between san francisco and the south bay, between the south bay and the southern parts of the city and eastern parts of our city and to and from sonoma. this is growth in transit trip making as it would translate into increased crowding and we know that there's crowding today on our system and without investment in the fleet plan, tep, without increasing in capacity that crowding will increase especially on the eastern and the southeastern parts of the network where so much of the new employment and housing is expected. and then finally the equity lens. we know that there are some neighborhoods in san francisco that experience some of these system performance problems more acutely than others, and we can break the summaries down that way to identify those neighborhoods. this picture is an example of that. it shows how many transfers on average a transit rider needs to make depending on the neighborhood, the origin of their trip, and there are certain parts of the city taking a transit trip requires many more transfers than other places. mta's recently pedestrian s

according to a new report by the southern poverty law center, the crazies are on the rise.ore groups who believe that the federal government is conspiring to take american's guns and destroy their liberties as it paves the world for a global one world government. last year, the southern poverty law center counted 1,360 of these groups, an all-time high. only 149 existed when barack obama won the presidency in 2008. today, the southern poverty law center sent a letter to homeland security secretary janet napolitano and attorney general eric holder, warning that the gun control debate itself may lead to even more such groups. the furious reaction to the obama administration's gun control proposals is reminiscent of the anger that greeted the passage of the 1993 brady bill and the 1994 ban on assault weapons. now, in the wake of the mass murder of 26 children and adults at a connecticut school and the obama-led gun control efforts that followed, it seems likely that that growth will pick up speed once again. joining me now, the author of that new report, southern poverty law c
