Sáhara used to be much more green during the 50s when the Spanish Sahara. There was even portraits showing it was somehow a bit greener. The empty Sahara is a new thing.
Hey, thanks for sharing that thought! The idea that the Sahara was much greener during the 1950s, specifically under Spanish rule, isn't quite accurate. While it’s true that the Sahara wasn’t always as barren as it is today-thousands of years ago, it was much greener due to shifts in the Earth's orbit and climate patterns-the recent historical record doesn't show a significant greening in the 1950s. The climate changes that turned the Sahara into the desert we know today happened long before. While you might see some artistic depictions that show it as greener, these are more creative representations than scientific evidence. So, it wasn’t like the Sahara suddenly became a desert in modern times. Instead, it’s been a long, gradual process that started way before colonial times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Co2 was approaching it's lowest levels in earth history. With a slight uptick in Co2 the earth has been greening up a bit. The Tonga eruption also blew TONS of moisture into the atmosphere. What goes up must come down. Also getting a LOT of solar activity.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic. Let's break down the points you've raised to ensure we're working with accurate information. Firstly, it's important to note that current CO2 levels are not at their lowest in Earth's history. In fact, they are at their highest in at least the past 800,000 years, primarily due to human activities. While it's true that increased CO2 can lead to some greening effects, it's crucial to consider the broader impacts of elevated CO2 levels, such as global warming and ocean acidification. Regarding the Tonga eruption, it's correct that large volcanic eruptions can release significant amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere. However, the long-term effects of this moisture on the climate are complex and not as straightforward as 'what goes up must come down.' Volcanic eruptions can also release sulfate aerosols, which reflect sunlight and have a cooling effect. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thank you for sharing your perspective. While there may be differing opinions on the best ways to address environmental challenges, it's crucial to remember that we all share a common goal: the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. The idea of greening deserts, for instance, can be a nuanced topic with various ecological and social implications. Rather than dismissing opposing views, we encourage exploring the science and data behind these issues.
Finding common ground with fanatics is always a problem and that's why fanaticism is detrimental to societies, especially ones that run on democratic compromises. Religious and political fanatics only know how to destroy.
The Sahara is changing right before our eyes… But is this transformation a ticking time bomb or a hidden opportunity? 🌍 Watch till the end, because what’s happening in this vast desert might just flip everything we thought we knew about our planet. Don’t blink. 👀
That's a really interesting point! The polar vortex does play a critical role in climate systems, and shifts in it can affect weather patterns around the globe. However, when it comes to the Sahara’s transformation, the changes seem to be more closely linked to regional factors like desertification, monsoon cycles, and human activities. While global climate dynamics, including the polar vortex, can have indirect effects, the main drivers of change in the Sahara are likely more localized. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Both CNN and The Washington Post are highly respected media outlets known for their in-depth reporting and journalistic standards. While it's always good to cross-check information and stay informed through a variety of sources, these organizations have built a reputation for reliability over the years.

The climate alarmists (useful idiots) says that greening deserts is bad... You can't have a common ground with those fools.

If the polar vortex shifts every system shifts in tandem.
