Duh. Deserts hot. Smaller desert means less heat? Less heat means cooler climate?

In a sense. Old joke:

What do you call a lawyer buried up to his neck in sand?

If Africa turns green, then now I understand why we have droughts here, a logical balance

So which US government body was put in charge of managing the Sahara Desert?

Me: In my youth, I worked on the Sahara Forest.

You: you must mean the Sahara Desert.

Me: Well, now...

ROTFLMAO! Something else the morons and experts want us to worry about. Buy a bag of sand for the Saharans. “Sand”- Reminds me of Sam Kinison. Sure do miss that guy. Funnier than hell.

I’ve got to get me a “Save the Camels” bumper sticker before they become “wildly popular”.

The Arabs are going to have to trade in their sandals for work boots if they’ll be walking on asphalt.

Many, many moons ago I remember reading about petrified trees deep under the Sahara sand. We live such short, wonderful lives, and some believe that their time on Earth is the ‘normal’ climate, weather, etc.

The optimal C02 levels for plants is much higher than today’s C02 levels. When I come across liberal(s) who will listen, I explain that C02 is PLANT FOOD. If they are still listening, I describe the Carbon Cycle, and that pretty much all life on Earth is carbon-based life. Another reason why/how the Left destroys language. The Left dreamed up the phrase ‘Carbon Footprint.’ They are the Party of Death and the Party of Hate. Since hydrocarbons are involved in so much of everyday life, limits on the usage (footprint) places limits on almost every thing you do. Food, motion, travel, merchandise (creation & distribution) all require hydrocarbons. I have postulated their ultimate goal. Quotas and limits on the total ‘carbon’ daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and yes, lifetime limits on everything you do. If you reach your daily carbon allocation at say 2pm in the afternoon, you could possibly ‘borrow’ from your lifetime allocation. Once that lifetime allocation is reached....Oh, Well.
