"What's up doc?"
global warming ping
I remember reading a while back that increasing level of C2O is causing our planet to become greener. It makes sense, as plants require c2o the way humans require o2.
Don’t know about the Sahara but I’m pretty sure that climate change brought an end to the Ice Age.
Simply amazing!! /sarc
...deserts returning to forests?...sounds good to me...I’m already thinking about an orange grove in my backyard....and I presently live in USDA plant hardiness zone 6 (0 to -5)minimum range.
Why can’t these GW scientists admit that the earth has always changed, and species have always morphed into new species and died off.
Why did I take science in elementary school?
More recently, the fall of the Western Roman empire was precipitated by (among many other things) the Vandals in their sweep through what is now Spain and their capture of northern Africa, significant because that was Rome's granary. Yes, they grew wheat there ("corn" if you're reading Gibbon), enough to support an imperial city. That was not quite 1600 years ago.
Wheat in North Africa. Wineries in Britain. These things are all a part of the historical record, and any climate model that can't account for them is simply inadequate.
I guess the chariots stirred up a lot of global warming back then.
The ice caps can’t melt and submerge Washington DC soon enough!
“The transition may be occurring because hotter air has more capacity to hold moisture, which in turn creates more rain, said Martin Claussen of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, who was not involved in the new study.”
Let me get this straight. The desert is already hot. But, if it gets hotter it will become greener. OK, got it.
Is this like boiling something until it freezes?
Interesting, that in the “end times”:
Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
The climate can change for the better? Who knew?
Unfortunately for them, this particular story cannot be spun negatively.. The Sahara even lacks that old standby of climate-change hysteria, cute animals threatened by a greening climate. So they are forced through gritted teeth to report it straight.
Science detached from politics. What a concept.
Oh no not rain in the desert. This could be the end. /sarcasm

"Global warming"(aka "climate change") is just a tin pan that the elitists bang on to scare the sheep into the pen. Ever notice that whatever the crisis is at the moment, the solution is always the same?
Tells me that it's all about the "solution", and not about the crisis.
it if all due to The Øbamanation's poop he left in Cairo. It was transplanted in the Sahara to jump start the transformation. Now, if we could only get him... 
to pee in the ocean to complete the cure for global warming!
Hey? I'm doing... 
my part!
Acacias are more like thorn bushes than trees. They are adapted to dry conditions. They resist evaporation and hoard water, making them able to survive on little. They stand up well to constant drying winds. They are small and stunted.
I have seen them everywhere on desert islands like Bonaire, NA. They remind me of our own prickly ash, useful mainly to goats and burros, of which there are lots in areas full of acacias. They make good livestock fences. I do seem to recall some sort of seed pods, which perhaps are an animal/bird feed. They will hold the soil, however, such as it is in these sorts of places, where it is mostly sand that needs to be sifted to remove the donkey dung before being amended in order to be used for anything.
But, maybe this is just to get started on NatGeo remaking its credibility.
Thanks for this post! I am sending the link along to some friends of mine.
