Snow in the Sahara

[Admiral X]

Other than the chicken littles, I doubt you'll find many people who think climate is static and never changes. The debate has always been about what contribution humans have on climate changing.

[ProfessorDetective]

Deserts. The grasslands turn into deserts. I was being facetious.

And if it's changing faster than we can adapt to it and if we can do anything to slow it down.

[Draco Dracul]

OH NO, the world's largest desert might turn green? How awful.

I mean except for the parts that become so hot multicellular life can't survive, though I think that's more in the Levant than the Sahara.

Admittedly there are currently attempts to reforest parts of the Sahara to both stop it's expansion directly by reigning in the dunes and indirectly by absorbing more CO2.

I think we have as much chance of being able to slow it down as King Canute had of ordering the tide not to come in.

Since when is the Levant or even just notable parts of the Levant too hot for multicellular life?

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

A lot of people find it hard to get over the fact that deserts aren't always hot.

The Saharah is the Hottest Desert in the World.

That does not counter the point he made. At all.

Also, you are wrong. The hottest place is the Lut Desert in Iran (measured by satellite at ~70°C). The hottest desert on average is the Danakil Desert. Sahara's record is merely the hottest day on record messured by thermometer, at 57°C and it's almost tied with Death Valley, with 56°C. Besides that, that neither proves anything. Read up on what happens in deserts already. Snowfall and ice are not rare in deserts at all. You're beginning to look like the average victim of the US' public school system...

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Huh. I stand corrected. In my defense, I WAS educated by the USA public school.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

I believe my school district is headed by the county. Working for the city I never came across any department for education serves. That makes sense that it'd be run by the county because there are a considerable amount of unincorporated areas in my county, maybe even compared to municipal areas.

Only time I've ever heard of the US government handling localized education is when it was on native territory or something.
