For the first time in 40 years, snow has fallen on the Sahara Desert, the Independent reported Wednesday. [
]
In his images [Karim Bouchetat, an amateur photographer who captured images of the snow on Monday], a thin layer of snow rests on deep orange dunes, where he said it stayed for about a day, and forms whirling patterns where the slopes are too steep for it to settle. Snow was reportedly last seen in Ain Sefra in 1979, when a half-hour snowstorm stopped traffic, the Independent stated in its article.

Yes, and glaciers covered New England 12,000 years ago. The climate is always changing, and the forces of change are the same ones that were here 12,000 years ago and will be here as long as there’s an Earth.

Here's an advance extract from thousands of articles that will be appearing at news stands near you within a few days:
"As the Earth warms due to excessive consumption of oil, gas and coal, the atmosphere ... leading to snowfall in normally hot and arid locations like he Sahara Desert."

Obama did it. He stopped global warming all by himself.

So those that point out that the climate is not static, but changes according to forces out of man’s control and not because of man’s actions, are the “climate change deniers” somehow.
Kind of like how the purveyors of fake news are telling us to watch out for “fake news” that disproves their own fakery.

Yes, and glaciers several miles thick covered the Midwest. Then ensuing global warming (NOT MAN MADE!) melted all that ice forming the largest body of fresh water on earth, we call the Great Lakes.
Climate change as you said, has been going on since earth was born. What many forget is the MAN MADE aspect. Man has such small impact on nature, the astronauts circling earth just 100 miles above, can not see a damn thing man has constructed. Only the Great Wall of China is seen as a barely discernible squiggly line.

I’m not the brightest bulb, but couldn’t one find 5 or more historical weather events around the ENTIRE planet each year in ANY year?

So I guess there will be snow in Africa this Christmas time, after all.
Someone alert Bob Geldof.
