According to the paleo guys that was the "green sahara" during the climate optimum period. Back when the earth was a few degrees warmer than it is today and N Africa was a tropical paradise. It was a time of plenty where man, plants and animals thrived globally.
My take on climate change FWIW: Yes the northern hemisphere has been warming steadily over the last 300 years since the little ice age. Massive amounts of manmade CO2 dumped into the atmosphere likely play a role in that warming. The gloom and doom scenarios proposed by the politically motivated within the IPCC is not supported by current scientific evidence. It probably will continue to warm but no one really has a clue how much warming or what the effects might be. Should we curtail the use of fossil fuels over time and reduce our impact on the atmosphere? Probably a good idea.
