we are gonna be lucky if we don't get a new glaciation in the next 100 years, and a minor ice age
this is interesting though, because also around the same time conditions were warmer and wetter in egypt and much of north africa

Right. The Sahara Desert use to be green at one time.
I find shells and fossils in the desert here, indicating that it was once wet and green.
yeah, desertification, i'm pretty sure the primary cause is low flying meteors and airbursts (like the one that flattened Tunguska), as it burns the carbon in teh soil, which is what makes soil fertile and able to hold water
there is ancient stories about giant fire dragons fighting in the sky, that's what these relate to, these things get so hot that if you are too close to them you are flash-incinerated
