  1. "Climate change, which suggests what the Sahara will be marching south" Except it isn't. The amount of green space in the world, particularly in arid regions, has increased by an acreage equivalent to the entire continental United States. You see, with greater CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, plants don't have to keep their stomata (pores in the surfaces of leaves) open as long as they used to, to take in CO2. This has the advantage of helping them lose less water while the stomata are open, making them hardier in drier areas. The advantages of CO2's increase are making themselves felt, even as the hysterics regarding its downside continue to humiliate those clinging to conventional wisdom. Guys, for decades now researchers have been paid by agenda-driven government agencies to confirm their priors. If you want to "follow the money", this is where it leads.
