the sahara used to be one of the greenest and lush regions on the planet. its proof that the climate will change with and without us. it has many times over. we mere humans are contributing very little to whats already going to happen on its own. its just doing it again, climate changes in cycles.

[@pinkelephants1421]

@@barbarashaffer8486 Except just how you need to add just the right ingredients in just the right amounts, at the right time, to a recipe to get a correct and crucially, a consistent outcome if you want a yummy outcome, so too the same goes for the Earth's systems, including the climate. Humanity has been mucking up the recipe for thousands of years, and began to do so on an industrial scale starting with the industrial revolution, the pace of which has been increasing at rate of knots ever since. Anthropogenic induced climate change is a fact of life and doubters such as yourself are arrogantly, selfishly, & deliberately assuming we can go on fluffing up the recipe indefinitely without major negative consequences; follow the science, it's not difficult.

[@marlan5470]

As more and more African countries to the south regreen their land, the more rain events will occur.

[@pinkelephants1421]

And much of northern Africa had large areas of swamplands, river deltas and fertile land. Once the degree of tilt of the Earth & orbital change happened as part of the natural cycle, everything started to dry out. Elephant, hippopotami, crocodile, giraffe, lion, cheetah, and many more species of wildlife had to migrate southward. It's estimated that the climatic swing back to a wet period won't happen again for around another 15,000yrs. I watched a documentary on the subject some time ago.

A period known as the Carnian Pluvial Event, which occurred about 232 million years ago, marked a dramatic turn in Earth's climate history. In an extraordinary shift, the planet transitioned from arid conditions to a prolonged phase of intense rainfall that lasted between one and two million years.

[@sachmo0196]

Going out on a limb here! In sections. 1. Sub-terra, vast oceans found, to include below ocean floor. 2. Cities built (Yonaguni, Alexandria, Azores, and off Cuba etc), all preflood. 3. Pressures of said sub-terra oceans too great and gave way. 4. Sub-terra oceans broke through en-masse, causing great flood to lands above Terra line at that time. 5. Note alt of Arc final placement (if). Then pressures/waters, sub-terra/above terra, started to equalize. With that, mass cities/lands remained underwater. They didn't sink into the sea, it was the mass sub-ocean, equalizing above and below terra. If water were air in lungs, you cough, large amount of air(h2o) initially comes out, then you inhale...till your breathing stabilizes. Which is what we have now (w/slight ebb & flow). The earth threw up!, just happened to be water.

Ever heard about the _West African crocodile_ ? Most of them have spent the past several centuries crammed together in the lakes and ponds of small oasis throughout the northwest of Africa. When the rain failed to fall - and it did so more often than not (it`s the Sahara, after all), the West African crocodile`s tiny populations survived in the tiny caves which they had dug into the banks of drying waters. They used to be so rare that their species was long considered a dwarf subspecies of Africa`s Nile crocodile. Who knows if the West African crocodile, in the face of massive floods all across the West Sahara, is on the verge of experiencing a spectacular comeback ?
