        It’s on a 40000+ year cycle, it’s not expected to be naturally green for another 15000 years. And some of the people who study this say that it is dry for the majority of the time (idk the actual breakdown that they claim but it is not a measly 1-2%).

        So yes, a green Sahara is unusual.

          My point is It’s irrelevant whether you think of it as such, OP point is climate changed in that time relatively fast dispite humans not going through industrial revolution. It manifested among else in Sahara.

            Are you trying to say manmade climate change isn’t as bad for us as its being made out to be?

            Because if you are, the planet literally doesn’t care and if some of the more basic lifeforms survive, life will go on.

            But what we are worried about is whether it is habitable for humans, and we are fucking over our ability to survive at several magnitudes faster than is normal for our little rock spaceship.

              I’m saying there are tens of theories, some of them are bad others are good or neutral for humans or other species. I’m also hinting that often activists and goverments don’t follow reason or science but are after feelings and sensations. But we should let scientists tp figure it out and find concensus.
