African nomads face extinction due to climate change

Kenya's herdsmen are facing extinction as global warming destroys their lands.
They are dubbed the "climate canaries" the people destined to become the first victims of world climate change.
As government ministers sat down in Nairobi at this weekend's UN Climate Conference, the herdsmen likely to be wiped out by devastating global warming were only a few hundred kilometres away, trying to survive on land savaged by successive droughts.
Those people, the three million pastoralists of northern Kenya, whose way of life has sustained them for thousands of years, now face eradication, according to research commissioned by the charity Christian Aid
