An unusual shift in the weather has turned the Sahara green

[king1]

Well isn't this a positive thing? The Sahara desert going green and people complaining?
You can't make this shit up!
And let's all blame this on global warming top along with everything else that's going on!
Firstly there are massive tree planting efforts going on there in an effort to stop the desert expanding south.
These trees are going to love all that water.
Secondly, all that dry soil won't absorb all that water at once, so of course it will flood.
I hope this trend in the weather continues, we might see rainforest return to that part of the continent which will only be a good thing.

in isolation it's not necessarily a bad thing no - but I guess the concern is what it represents.
