“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.”

Awhhh, com’on..You know “whitey” taught them how to drill wells so they could ‘stay in place’..and that’s how the animals ate up all the local vegetation..and ‘ruined’ it all.

WHITEY’S FAULT !

Look up Milankovitch cycles.

Are they the Russian equivalent of Harley-Davidson Cycles? Just not as reliable? ................

The earth orbits the sun and it revolves on its own axis.

The wobble occurs on the earth’s axis while the orbit remains unchanged.

Islam’s fault. And what I wrote is history. Not a joking matter.

>> “Islam’s fault. And what I wrote is history. Not a joking matter.” <<

Islam was born long after the desert (7th century)

But I agree with much of your premise. The people that later became Islam did create part of the problem.

The rest was the unavoidable consequence of the Genesis 6 judgment.

Several years ago divers found evidence of a prehistoric hunting camp beneath Lake Huron, created when the lake was about 250 feet lower and caribou used to migrate thru there.......

Up until the Muslims swept through North Africa, the area from Egypt to Mauritania fed the ancient world from it huge grain and animal farms. After the invasion, there was hardly any vegetation and the area turned into a semi-arid desert - then the Sahara began to creep northward.

A couple of other places worth viewing from the air are the Paupa New Guinea rain forests and the borderlands between China and Indochina. Steep mountains with lots of rainfall which were turned into agriculturally productive land by man.

Without man, much of those mountain and hillsides would have washed away. With man, it not only produced an abundance of food, but beauty which even the UN designated World Heritage Sites. Man was/is a pretty clever beast before libtardism came along.

Another joke: An old but industrious farmer and his wife acquired an abandoned farm in a tax auction. Every outbuilding was either falling apart or overgrown with vegetation. They got to work. It was tough work, but slow and steady. Sometimes, their children and grandchildren visited to help. Sometimes, friends did.

But mostly, it was the old farmer and his wife. Word got around about what a beautiful farm they had created and, one day, even the local pastor had to come and see. Like everyone else, he was amazed. "You and the Lord have done a splendid job since you've bought this farm," he exclaimed!

Said the old farmer, "You should've seen it when just the Lord had it!"

Islam seems to have a real skill for turning landscapes into barren wastelands.
