"The surfaces of deserts are being broken up by four-wheel drive vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Japanese version of the Land Rover and a great favorite with drivers in the Sahel, the dry states to the south of the Sahara, as well as many other challenging places.

"The surface disturbance is proceeding at such a rate in Africa, the Middle East and Asia that it is contributing substantially to a rise in dust storms, and to an increase in dust in the global atmosphere generally, which could have serious climatic and health repercussions."

It certainly never occurred to me that this was happening ... Presumably the only environmentally-friendly way of travelling over a desert is via a camel ...
