The North African region was a lush verdant region 11,000 years ago, which is not so long ago considering humans already spread far and wide around that time.
The whole continent of Africa (as every other continent) went through several major climate changes, small and big. Pretty sure there were at least five major turnovers from wet to dry climate and back since then, and numerous before.
I think they’re better at networking than the left. The moment there’s the slightest, most microscopically plausible counterpoint to something, it seems like they’re all bellowing it as if it’s the most obvious, incontrovertible thing on earth.
Then again I’m American where we seem to be especially in the dark on climate science.
Was that area a desert 250,000 years ago?

Fun fact, there are some theories that the Sahara desert was actually caused by over foraging from early goat herding.
So to a degree out ancestors may have already caused some climate change.
Republicans and climate science deniers favorite fun fact
Wait… What?
Like when they say “cLiMaTe ChAnGe Is NoThInG NeW” and try to tell you “the climate has been changing for thousands of years”
But it’s true! This is how GOD made the Earth! And if we burn enough fossil fuels we can get back to that garden of Eden, just as HE wants!!
Oh… Dang, I have never heard a climate denier even know about early farming practices in northern Africa to pull that one out and usually I get:
there is no way something as simple as a person or animal could have an impact on something as big as climate!Wild. I didn’t realize they were changing the cope, I guess I got to catch up on the patch notes.

Your ape’s first anthropogenic climate disaster.
