Sahara desert goes green, thanks to warming

Scientists are now seeing signals that the Sahara desert and surrounding regions are greening due

to increasing rainfall, all
thanks to the rising temperatures due to climate change.

According to National Geographic News, these rains could revitalize drought-ravaged regions, reclaiming them for farming communities.
This trend is supported by climate models, which predict a return to conditions that turned the Sahara into a lush savanna 12,000 years ago. The green shoots of recovery are showing up on satellite images of regions including the Sahel, a semi-desert zone bordering Sahara that stretches 2,400 miles.
