Yeah but do you realize how big the “Save the Sahara” appropriations will be? And the regulations, they’ll number like the ...stars in the sky.
“African Humid Period”
Speculation is that ancient Egypt civilization was begun by refugees from the drying climate west of there.

And the rats will hire thousands of agents and give them guns and forfeiture power. There wont be any sand left but that’s not anything rats care about.
5:30 EST on The Jersey Shore. 79 degrees and the sky looks like the Judgement Day.
Hoping the power doesn’t go out. Every time a thunder storm hits my area *BOOM*, we’re in the dark.
“… the desert dust will catalyze scorching temperatures…”
I’d like to know exactly how that works. Sounds like another poorly educated reporter.

“Southern California was suffering from a record heat wave with temperatures of over a 100 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Current temperature: 75 degrees Fahrenheit
Sounds about right. This whole story looks like standard climate alarmism horse apples.
I’ve seen temperature and rainfall records dating back to 1819. Even ships at sea were required to bring such records home.
Ohhh, nooohhh, and the past four days have been the hottest in historyyyyyy. /sarc /barf
In “recent memory,” you mean. Anecdote + short attention span = easy to lie to.

Abstract
The vitality of Caribbean coral reefs has undergone a continual state of decline since the late 1970s, a period of time coincidental with large increases in transatlantic dust transport. It is proposed that the hundreds of millions of tons/year of soil dust that have been crossing the Atlantic during the last 25 years could be a significant contributor to coral reef decline and may be affecting other ecosystems. Benchmark events, such as near synchronous Caribbean-wide mortalities of acroporid corals and the urchin Diadema in 1983, and coral bleaching beginning in 1987, correlate with the years of maximum dust flux into the Caribbean. Besides crustal elements, in particular Fe, Si, and aluminosilicate clays, the dust can serve as a substrate for numerous species of viable spores, especially the soil fungus Aspergillus. Aspergillus sydowii, the cause of an ongoing Caribbean-wide seafan disease, has been cultured from Caribbean air samples and used to inoculate sea fans.
It’s possible this could be a problem...
Its only 82 here in Atlanta.
