Surprising Discovery: Sahara Is Greening…Billions Of Trees Where Once Thought To Be Barren

The Sahara Desert has shrunk, satellite images confirm…evidence of a real ecological shift

For decades, the narrative surrounding the Sahara was one of unstoppable desertification—a vast, arid landscape slowly swallowing everything in its path, including Europe alarmists have warned.
 

However, recent scientific findings are painting a much more hopeful and complex picture. Thanks to advanced satellite technology and Artificial Intelligence, researchers have discovered something remarkable: The edges of the Sahara and the Sahel zone are becoming significantly greener.

A real ecological shift

In the past, satellite imagery was often too “blurry” to detect individual trees in arid regions. Sparse vegetation was frequently overlooked, leading to an underestimation of the actual biomass.

But...but...between desertification and rising sea levels, we were all going to be living on an ocean beach.... :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

One of the basics of the AGW crowd was that warming and higher temps put more moisture (more evaporation and warm air holds more moisture) in the atmosphere, so I'm not sure why they're surprised by this.

I have read that deserts were once green.  Maybe it's cyclical.  :shrug:

Yes, just as weather is cyclical.  I but you the Sahara is starting to look beautiful.

There's also an ongoing effort to plant trees in order to essentially prime the pump and create a repetitive cycle.

In the time of Gobekli Tepe the Sahara was close to jungle.

That kind of stuff cranks me up... regenerative farming/ranching...

Putting it all back...

Taking old wore out tobacco farms that have a quarter inch of topsoil and bringing em back with cattle and hay bombing

Taking a nearly dried out riverbed in Nevada desert country and planting a few beaver... in mere years it turns into a beautiful water shed... teeming with fish and birds and wildlife... water table starts coming up, wells come back...

It is a marvel to me.
