This is interesting because climate activists always need to spin climate change as a catastrophe. No matter what the situation, warming can only be destructive because, otherwise, the need for IMMEDIATE ACTION TO SAVE THE WORLD NOW!!! goes away.

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.

They also left out the fact that greening the Sahara is a negative feedback.
