    we’ll see how rare is the new “rare” event. Next thing you know Sahara is a well-known rainforest and amazon is the well-known desert.

      During the ice age, the Sahara was savanna, and it’s though to be possible it could go back due to climate change.

      That would be a nice silver lining on a mostly very bad mistake, I guess.

          Sand is a kind of soil. Actually, besides possibly salinity, deserts tend to be pretty fertile once you add water, because evaporation concentrates things.

          I’m not making this up. It wasn’t caused by anthropogenic climate change before, obviously, but more than one thing can shift rains.
