When I was a kid, the Sahara was expanding because of deforestation. Hmmmmm....

This again? The Sahara was growing years ago! Then came a rainy season and it shrunk. Then the warning it was growing again! Then the rains came and it shrunk again.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
the boundaries of the Sahara have contracted and expanded for eons. And is cited as one of the reasons that Africa remained a nomadic continent.

So, they're basically telling us that the Earth is cooling Yeah, that was what they were teaching in high school back in the seventies(before Al Gore).
The Sahara used to be a lush tropical jungle then the earth cooled and sucked up all the water and trapped it at the poles.
If the poles are warming the trapped ice, shouldn't it "regreen" the Sahara Desert?
Yeah, they are playing politics, not weather forecast.

It’s been getting bigger for a long time. We’re being framed.

It’s depletion of the soil that was once there, by farming. That’s what they don’t tell kids in school because they don’t want to scare them.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Tell me the truth:
Can the Washington Post be more predictable?
I used to be able to expect what my daughter would do as an eight year old.
C’mon Post, try to act grown up.
Is this a real or fake news story?
