There are numerous fossils of whales in the Sahara.
Back when the world last experience global warming, Greenland was green, the glaciers on Greenland, the Antarctic, north America and northern Eurasia melted, the sea level rose, humidity rose, abundant rains fell and life flourished.

“As the Earth’s orbit slowly changed” The earth’s orbit around the sun has not changed. The Earth's orbit may not have changed, but the Earth's orbit around the sun does change in a periodic way, over thousands of years.

It used to be the Sahara Forest. But oh no, white men had to come along and invent the internal combustion engine and ruin it.

The desert was accelerated during the muslim conquest of North Africa when they used very large herds of goats to strip the vegetation from most of North Africa which had been the grain basket to the Ancient World.

A large, well established, lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good Lumberjack. The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe, and knocked on the head lumberjacks’ door.
The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave.
“Just give me a chance to show you what I can do,” said the skinny man.
“Okay, see that giant tree over there?” said the lumberjack. “Take your axe and go cut it down.”
The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack’s door.
I cut the tree down,” said the man.
The lumberjack couldn’t believe his eyes and said, “Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?”
“In the Sahara Forest,” replied the puny man.
“You mean the Sahara Desert,” said the lumberjack.
The little man laughed and answered back, “Oh sure, that’s what they call it now!”
