I surrender to this article in the Sahara I did not want to, but I decided it was interesting to go a desert that grows 10% more as this happens well let's start.
The Sahara desert is 10% bigger than 100 years ago this can't be that good I say a damn desert eating your people.
Researchers at the University of Maryland (USA) studied rainfall data in the region to measure changes in desert boundaries and found that The highest temperatures in the summer, along with the dry winters, increased the general aridity of the soil the trend in Africa to hotter summers and increasingly dry rainy seasons relates to factors that include increased effect gases Greenhouse and aerosols in the atmosphere, "explains Ming Cai, program director of the National Science Foundation, the group that funded the study.

The Sahara has been expanding since 1920, well they say it can also be that "climate change" that always sell us which sounds vague to explain this if you ask me could be another external factor perhaps added to the change of climates. A while ago there was a news about the Sahara that spoke that within thousands of years would be a fertile area, under this immense desert is hidden water which I doubt much lasts until it becomes habitable since not Missing the person who wants to take this resource when you find a method that makes it easier which would now be difficult would not leave so many gains.
