Another global warming catastrophe: the Sahara Desert is actually getting greener

I don’t like the whole climate change debate in general. I think the science gets very lost in the partisanship. But I have always wondered whether the scientific community presenting the case for climate change has not underestimated the ways in which the planet will compensate for higher temperatures in just the way that this article is arguing. And it’s not just the Sahara. There are huge areas of subarctic tundra where tree growth is exploding.

So high carbon leads to warmth, warmth leads to plant growth, plant growth soaks up excess carbon and the warming moderates again.

Huge self adjusting systems? Sounds right to me. It’s a natural.

The earth’s climate is always changing, but those changes have nothing to do with molecular level changes in CO2 produced by human activity. Why did the Sahara dry up 6,000 years ago when human activity at the time added little to the global levels of CO2? The sun, the oceans, variations in the tilt of the earth’s axis and volcanic eruptions have far more to do with alterations in climate than any amount of CO2. The big lie is that human caused increases in CO2 resulting in global warming is the only significant cause of climate change.

“It’s a natural.”

What do you mean nature? Why, that implies something other than our self-appointed gods control the Earth. Can’t have that!

Before you know it, the people will be worshiping God...

Humans debating global warming is like three mites claiming to push the elephant they are hitching a ride on.

[Jack Hydrazine]

“Now, that same process is happening in reverse. As temperatures rise, the Sahara and other dry areas are greening on the edges. “

Another ‘warm globally, cool locally’ alert!

[Jack Hydrazine]

You can say that again!

[Jack Hydrazine]

As the global temperature of Earth has dropped over the last 8,500+ years the amount of CO2 has increased.

A clear easy to understand from lush to desert.
Now let’s move to the California desert. Dingbat Brown is running around on the global warming witch hunt and California has no water. Maybe he should try and increase global warming along the coast to increase rainfall. Simple idea and positive results.

its awkward.. but it’s inevitable!

[seawolf101]

OH NO THE GREEN GRASS, LUSH VEGETATION AND WATER ARE CREEPING IN ON THE CAMELS.

WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.

WE NEED TO SEND MORE MONEY TO THE GLOBAL WARMING SCIENTISTS SO THEY CAN COME UP WITH A SOLOUTION.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW WE WILL BE CALLING THE CAMELS LLAMAS. OH YEAH RIGHT, LLAMAS AND CAMELS ARE RELATED.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Very cool and unexpected by me. I will say, the Earth has her own buffer systems to maintain world temperatures in a fairly well known range. We know the temperatures at the height of the ice ages and the temperatures for the warming periods between ice ages.

It is nature folks. Man has a negligible impact on the climate or the direction or magnitude of long term trends in world temperature changes.

Amazing how an entire propaganda machine has spun that fact on its head. I can’t wait until the theory of anthropomorphic global warming from CO2 emissions is so widley debunked that it is common knowledge to every layman in the nation.

It would be funny if the changes that scientists make to combat global warming would cause an ice age!
