Title: Rising CO2 levels are re-greening Africa's deserts... Post by: BADecker on September 21, 2015, 09:28:57 PM Rising CO2 levels are re-greening Africa's deserts, bringing abundance that lifts people out of poverty (http://www.naturalnews.com/051252_climate_change_regreening_extreme_weather.html#ixzz3mPVDHkLD)
From Natural News: Quote ...

The region is turning around and experiencing a vast change from the drought and deaths that once plagued it. The area is greening, plants are growing, and people are coming together. These changes bring improvements in the physical and emotional well-being of the region's inhabitants, which can ultimately bolster relationships and reverse poverty levels. ...

The alarmist web site DeSmog is one such outlet, and it is said to have jumped on Arizona State University's Sahel findings. They vehemently stated that, "The greening is unreliable. It is thus hardly an encouraging example of a 'positive impact' from global warming." ...
