"is an inland sea every 20,000 years" - BULLSHIT! During the humid period of the cycle, the Sahara becomes more of a savannah grassland with lakes and rivers. It is NOT a bloody inland sea.
The problem is that things are changing fast. Way too fast. Some rain is a good thing. When it falls more than 20 cm (8 inches) in 48 hours in a desert where it seldom rain, something is wrong. Other places, there are drought for years where it normally rains quite often. The changes in climate we see now should worry everyone!

Of course there hasn’t. Every cause has had an effect though. We are well aware a surplus of greenhouse gasses is what’s happening now. And co2 is important for our climate, but not so damn much as what we’re pumping into the atmosphere at present. We have offset the balance.

All the flooding around the world in the last two years since the Hunga Tonga volcano erupted on Jan 15, 2022 can be attributed to this eruption as it increase the water vapour in the stratosphere by 20% instantaneously and it will take a few years to rain down.
Um, no. Recent data shows that volcano had a slight cooling effect (mostly local, southern hemisphere) that has now ended. There was no measurable warming effect from the volcanic eruption globally and there won't be any warming effect because the water vapor has already dissipated. The mostly local cooling influence may have disrupted the last El Nino.

I witnessed a similar event in Western Sahara and Southern Morocco back in 1992. Double the annual rainfall in less than two days and from memory, it to was about 8 inches of rainfall. Low lying areas were flooded and depressions in the sand were later seeded for crops. It is also quite surprising how quickly the sand dunes sprouted grasses that covered the entire dune and valleys in between.
Over 2000 years ago parts of North Africa were farmed to grow wheat to feed the Roman Empire. Is it a bad thing that rain would start falling on that area once again? May that area could once again become a bread basket.
If it happened 50 years ago it’s not unprecedented. Yes, even deserts get heavy rain from time to time. This doesn’t puzzle scientists, it just offers an opportunity for click bait.
Al Snore has been panicking for years, as he adds to his own alleged problem with private jets and monster SUVs. Same for climate screecher John Kerry.
these things have happened for years. Its normal. in 1972 the railway line between Windhoek and Walvisbay washed away. i was there working on the railways and the entire desert was puddles of water. Then over December 1980 it rained non stop again. I was trapped on a small island in the middle of a lake stretching from horison to horison for almost a week, in Ovamboland in the Namib. The day before it was a vast salt pan. We came close to drowning and had to run chest deep in water to a palm tree in the distance as i knew these usually stood on higher ground. The party sat back to back against the tree with out feet in the water. if it rose much more we would have drowned. Nobody at the time shouted 'climate change, lets increase taxes'.
As mentioned....not seen since 50 years. Means that this event happen 50 years ago, where the so called human made climate change not had happen in this scale. Or with other words, a really rare but normal event. No panic! Btw water in the desert seems not a catastrophe to me.

The 2024 hurricane season has been everything but conventional. From a Cat.5 hurricane in June and now highly elevated cyclonic activity thru November. I noticed that the peak of the season in September was only notable for a total dearth of tropical systems, although I did observe the usual procession of tropical waves exiting Africa over the Cape Verdes, only to dissipate shortly thereafter. A few made it to the Azores which seems to have been the birthplace of this Saharan storm. This event could have been more influential had it occurred in early September so reducing the usually adverse impact of Saharan dust on the development of Cape Verde hurricanes. I find myself left to wonder if the unusually clear air in the MDA could be a significant background influence behind the extended hurricane season of November '24 ?
Could you imagine if our knowledge went back 4.5 billion years rather than the thickness of a piece of paper on a line scale.

I have experienced extremes in my home country of Canada. A few Summers ago I was staying in Kelowna, BC and experienced 47 degrees C which is about 116 degrees F. It wasn’t just a day it was about 8 days. I live on a high plateau about 2,000 feet above sea level in the Yukon Territory. When my husband and I and ourv2 young children moved here from Ontario, we were surprised at how little snow we got. It was just a light dusting that could be swept away with a broom. Mind you it very cold. The first Winter it went down to minus 30 C on Christmas Eve and stayed there until the 12th of March. Now we get heavy dumps of snow and the temperatures vary. It is cold for a few days then miles up. It is up and down like that. We also have heat waves ( we consider plus 30 C a heat wave here) in the Summer. These heat waves cause dangerous wild fires. I used to like a little heat in the Summer…not anymore. I now like to be cool even cold. I am so glad that we are in our 7 months of Winter. I love to cuddle up in the oversized sweaters that I knit and read a book.
There are fish species in Australia that do just that. Their eggs can remain dormant but alive even in the driest conditions. They can even be blown to new locations in dust storms. Once rain does arrive they can hatch within days. In Africa fish could migrate from the south using ancient river channels, from when the region was wetter in the past.
It happens all over the world. Some go dormant for years, others are seeded in the first day by wading birds with clinging fish eggs. Water is the key to all life.
Only 200 years ago, there were quite a few more rivers in the Sahara. The climate is changing, all right. Back into what it was a thousand years ago. In my neck of the woods, October used to be very rainy. The last thirty years, it has been very dry and sun shiny. Last year was just a little wetter. This year was the first in twenty years where more than half the month had rainfall...... Not necessarily bad in the Sahara. Man has been drawing down the aquifer for ages. It needed recharging. This is a good start. The plants are re-emerging. I am wondering if aquatic insects are reviving and whether fish eggs could have been dormant for hundreds are now emerging again. That may be far fetched, but it would be, truly, fascinating....

It’s where the river runs all of us live at the bottom of the fish tank and wherever we live, we live in the valley at the bottom and then there’s those that live always at the hilltop and it’s because of this flooding and it comes from the inland it does not come from the sea. All these lakes, and all these bodies of water throughout the world are all pretty much kind of connected somehow someway to each other so you can drain one lake from over there and then you can fill up that lake again from over there just like Lake Tahoe and Lake Coeur d’Alene are connected, many lakes are connected. Can also control the drought to boil. The water is getting low. We better save water or charge more for water and it goes on and on and on.
As a child (decades ago) I read the books of the 19th century German author Karl May and learned that the Sahara is full of wadis, river valleys that can be subject to flash floods even though they are sometimes dry for decades, making them particularly dangerous places. What was a feature of the desert 130 years ago is now evidence of climate change. And what else?
as long as our jetstream is altered by fossil fuels, we'll see water on the deserts and green areas drying up. Animal species either extinct or moving away.
If you go back and look at the global weather maps for the last 2 years, you will notice waves of precipitation moving eastward from a single source. A few months ago, the number of sources increased.
Am i the only one who thinks this a BEAUTIFUL event? Why does every little raindrop have to be deemed apocalyptic or catastrophic? Maybe the Earth is telling humanity "Hold my beer".
Hunga Tonga volcano erupted about 2 years ago sending a huge volumes of water into the stratosphere. Some of this is now returning earthwards. From what I've read it may take several years for this to stop happening. So it may or may not affect the Sahara in the coming years but is having an effect elsewhere. e.g. heavy early snow in the US. November snow in South Africa where it's now summer.
@@louishennick6883 No. I eat porridge. Seriously though the truth is to be found on the internet if one looks. In this case a website: Oppenheimer Ranch Project.

It will warm up again after that. Best wishes.
In prehistoric times, it seems that the Sahara Desert was partly green and flooded, as indicated by some rock carvings depicting a sort of marine animals. The Earth is still a living planet, with drastic climate changes, alternating periods of optimus climaticus - that is very warm - and glacial ones with widespread glaciers and ice sheets, and this long before man appeared on this planet. The last optimus climaticus period was around AD 1000 when christened Scandinavians colonized Greenland - it was green at that time -and cultivated the land and practiced husbandry. There are still some letters preserved, addressed to their relatives at home. By the 13th century, a papal mission sent to inquire after them, didn't find any trace, but only snow and ice. The community had either succumbed to the cold or had been killed by the local Eskimos. Or both. All these climate changes are connected to the Sun's activity.
It doesn't mean anything, the deserts are full of large waterways that are clearly flowing heavily from time to time. This has happened in my lifetime before and also the snow falls from time to time. It is pitiful to watch this.

It is also quite surprising how quickly the sand dunes sprouted grasses that covered the entire dune and valleys in between.
Over 2000 years ago parts of North Africa were farmed to grow wheat to feed the Roman Empire. Is it a bad thing that rain would start falling on that area once again? May that area could once again become a bread basket.
Half a century is a blink of an eye for life in the Sahara
Scientists don't necessarily understand this.
It’s just climate it changes all the time, just part of a larger cycle.
If it happened 50 years ago it’s not unprecedented. Yes, even deserts get heavy rain from time to time. This doesn’t puzzle scientists, it just offers an opportunity for click bait.
The Sahara used to be green with rivers, lakes etc. This may be a return to normal.
What a clickbait title , no panic note.
AI generated panic.
You could not be so gullible
Al Snore has been panicking for years, as he adds to his own alleged problem with private jets and monster SUVs. Same for climate screecher John Kerry.
One of many clickbait exaggeration channels.
these things have happened for years. Its normal. in 1972 the railway line between Windhoek and Walvisbay washed away. i was there working on the railways and the entire desert was puddles of water. Then over December 1980 it rained non stop again. I was trapped on a small island in the middle of a lake stretching from horison to horison for almost a week, in Ovamboland in the Namib. The day before it was a vast salt pan. We came close to drowning and had to run chest deep in water to a palm tree in the distance as i knew these usually stood on higher ground. The party sat back to back against the tree with out feet in the water. if it rose much more we would have drowned. Nobody at the time shouted 'climate change, lets increase taxes'.
Morocco is doing cloud seeding.
As mentioned....not seen since 50 years. Means that this event happen 50 years ago, where the so called human made climate change not had happen in this scale. Or with other words, a really rare but normal event. No panic! Btw water in the desert seems not a catastrophe to me.
This a good intro for folks who know little or nothing about the Green Sahara. Your AI picked photos that have nothing to do with your subject!
imagine how it must feel to see newly formed ponds in an area where water hasn´t been seen in decades...

🎤 From dry lake beds to stunning reflections of palm trees-these temporary lakes in the Sahara have reignited a landscape unseen for decades. Could this be a hint of a greener past returning to life?
Nature never ceases to amaze-seeing the Sahara transform with flooding and dormant life awakening is truly extraordinary!
Everything old: is NEW again😊😊😊
Wow! A desert that hasn’t flooded in 50 years flooded. Think about that. No, it’s not a big deal.
The map with the storm crossing over was of the Missouri, Okla, Ark, Kansas 4 corner area, not North Africa. PLEASE.
It used to be Savannah
Where I live ( semi- desert climate ) Karoo) Western Cape SA 1970's/80's visited here , ground and gravel hot and when we visit here lucky to have one day rain weather during the visit . During 1990''s hot and dry . 1990 h 1994 hot and dry . And then, 2012 and 2013 every afternoon about 15:00 a slight cool wind for about 1-2 hours . About 2021 it started to rain a little bit for days and 25 December 2021 it rained for the first in my life on Christmas day here in Karoo . Since 2021 more rain and more days raining here in Karoo . I hope the rain will not get less here where I live My mother said she grew up in Karoo , not used to thunder and lightning , like in KZN ( SA) Sometime between 2021 and 2024 , there were few thunderstorm . Lightning and thunder at the sink in the kitchen that never happened to me before . About . 2022- 2024 , the ever flood two to three times a year when heavy rain Usually dry river.
I n the past ,about ,2012 my father said . Wind from the west , blow the rain away .With western wind , there is no rain.
The 2024 hurricane season has been everything but conventional. From a Cat.5 hurricane in June and now highly elevated cyclonic activity thru November. I noticed that the peak of the season in September was only notable for a total dearth of tropical systems, although I did observe the usual procession of tropical waves exiting Africa over the Cape Verdes, only to dissipate shortly thereafter. A few made it to the Azores which seems to have been the birthplace of this Saharan storm. This event could have been more influential
had it occurred in early September so reducing the usually adverse impact of Saharan dust on the development of Cape Verde hurricanes. I find myself left to wonder if the unusually clear air in the MDA could be a significant background influence behind the extended hurricane season of November '24 ?
It's quite common. Every 10 to 15 years this happens. It was just 6000 years ago a fertile region with forest, savanaah and jungle.
Could you imagine if our knowledge went back 4.5 billion years rather than the thickness of a piece of paper on a line scale. Who knows what our climate did, the Sahara has evidence of cities in the Middle of it, water must have been present for these amazing people to have lived there, Deja Vu in the climate.
This Paul Beckwith has been talking about this as well.
I think before it happened?
There is no reason for panicking on such an event in Sahara. If it happens continuously, people just need to adapt for this blessing.
I have experienced extremes in my home country of Canada. A few Summers ago I was staying in Kelowna, BC and experienced 47 degrees C which is about 116 degrees F. It wasn’t just a day it was about 8 days. I live on a high plateau about 2,000 feet above sea level in the Yukon Territory. When my husband and I and ourv2 young children moved here from Ontario, we were surprised at how little snow we got. It was just a light dusting that could be swept away with a broom. Mind you it very cold. The first Winter it went down to minus 30 C on Christmas Eve and stayed there until the 12th of March. Now we get heavy dumps of snow and the temperatures vary. It is cold for a few days then miles up. It is up and down like that. We also have heat waves ( we consider plus 30 C a heat wave here) in the Summer. These heat waves cause dangerous wild fires. I used to like a little heat in the Summer…not anymore. I now like to be cool even cold. I am so glad that we are in our 7 months of Winter. I love to cuddle up in the oversized sweaters that I knit and read a book.
Rain is wonderful
Wouldn't it be something if a body of water stuck around & suddenly there was fish.
There are fish species in Australia that do just that. Their eggs can remain dormant but alive even in the driest conditions. They can even be blown to new locations in dust storms. Once rain does arrive they can hatch within days. In Africa fish could migrate from the south using ancient river channels, from when the region was wetter in the past.
It happens all over the world. Some go dormant for years, others are seeded in the first day by wading birds with clinging fish eggs. Water is the key to all life.
All the climate naysayers. Legions. And Legions. And still I pray you're right. But the ice keeps melting.
Only 200 years ago, there were quite a few more rivers in the Sahara. The climate is changing, all right. Back into what it was a thousand years ago.
In my neck of the woods, October used to be very rainy. The last thirty years, it has been very dry and sun shiny. Last year was just a little wetter. This year was the first in twenty years where more than half the month had rainfall......
Not necessarily bad in the Sahara. Man has been drawing down the aquifer for ages. It needed recharging. This is a good start. The plants are re-emerging. I am wondering if aquatic insects are reviving and whether fish eggs could have been dormant for hundreds are now emerging again. That may be far fetched, but it would be, truly, fascinating....
You say unprecedented then say it also occurred 50 years ago. Definitely Not unprecedented.
Rains have become intense all over the world in last 6-7 years.
I imagine everyone in or near the Sahara desert are wild with JOY!! I hope they are digging water pits to retain it as long as possible.
If it has scientists, terrify, shocked, panicked, or turned pale in the title it is clickbait.
Libya has an absolutely huge water aquifer under the country.
Anything with AI narration I refuse to worry about.
Me at 6 minutes waiting to see footage related to the narration. Sigh. This is why you don't use algorithmic bots to generate your RUclips videos. They're not intelligent. They're actually really dumb.
the earths weakening magnetic field letting more energy from the sun creates more weather to the earth!
NO ... just NO! You don't have a clue what you are talking about.
@@MultiRationalThinkersee,suspicious observers,wake up.
@@jeffdunnell6693 - suspicious observers? Give me a fucking break. Those dimwits understand about as much physics as the average house brick.
I don’t mean to be the wet blanket to spoil your imaginative theory
but
the earth’s magnetic field is not the culprit.
Do some bonafide research and get back to the comments later.
@@MultiRationalThinker Be rational as your name suggests and study up before being so dismissive. Electromagnetism is a very powerful force, and it is quickly diminishing on earth.
So interesting thank you. Mother Nature rules..and fights back.
Mothe nature canno regenerate by itselff Rapa NUI isle and Haiti shows us it is over .Nature is a gift of GOD of love JHWH JEHOVAH Who gives us Holy Bible .
It’s where the river runs all of us live at the bottom of the fish tank and wherever we live, we live in the valley at the bottom and then there’s those that live always at the hilltop and it’s because of this flooding and it comes from the inland it does not come from the sea. All these lakes, and all these bodies of water throughout the world are all pretty much kind of connected somehow someway to each other so you can drain one lake from over there and then you can fill up that lake again from over there just like Lake Tahoe and Lake Coeur d’Alene are connected, many lakes are connected. Can also control the drought to boil. The water is getting low. We better save water or charge more for water and it goes on and on and on.
As a child (decades ago) I read the books of the 19th century German author Karl May and learned that the Sahara is full of wadis, river valleys that can be subject to flash floods even though they are sometimes dry for decades, making them particularly dangerous places. What was a feature of the desert 130 years ago is now evidence of climate change. And what else?
Roughly 8000 years ago the Sahara was a savanna with grass, Acacia trees, rivers and plenty of animals
Shabbat Shalom and Shema Yahovah people!
Yasharel we are going home.
10 Jahres ago a Tuareg told me that Sahara weather is more and more moist. The people look forward to the ancient times as Sahara was green.
as long as our jetstream is altered by fossil fuels, we'll see water on the deserts and green areas drying up. Animal species either extinct or moving away.
First accurate statement I’ve read in the comment section 😂
"Sahara Desert" really? Desert Desert? Sahara means desert!
Rio Grande River. Rio Grande means Big River. It's how the English language deals with foreign words.
If you go back and look at the global weather maps for the last 2 years, you will notice waves of precipitation moving eastward from a single source. A few months ago, the number of sources increased.
Why would scientists be panicking?
Am i the only one who thinks this a BEAUTIFUL event? Why does every little raindrop have to be deemed apocalyptic or catastrophic? Maybe the Earth is telling humanity "Hold my beer".
Im not a scientist but it's called a fifty year rain

Hunga Tonga volcano erupted about 2 years ago sending a huge volumes of water into the stratosphere. Some of this is now returning earthwards. From what I've read it may take several years for this to stop happening. So it may or may not affect the Sahara in the coming years but is having an effect elsewhere. e.g. heavy early snow in the US. November snow in South Africa where it's now summer.
Where did you read that 😂,
back of a cereal box?
@@louishennick6883 No. I eat porridge. Seriously though the truth is to be found on the internet if one looks. In this case a website: Oppenheimer Ranch Project. Hint if you read anything about global warming, or more lately 'climate change', It could be some man trying to manipulate you. I'm an electrical engineer with a strong background in physics, chemistry and mathematics. I realised myself that such claims are bogus and manipulative so I dug deeper to find out more. Never fear what you may find when doing your own research. By the way China is building new coal-fired power stations at a cracking rate so any 'good' climate change believers should be directing their complaints there. Here in merrie olde England we've just shut down our last coal power station! We are all set for colder times for the next few years due to changes in the Sun's behaviour. It will warm up again after that. Best wishes.
Think about magnetic pole change
Why? It has bugger all to do with this.
A blessing from above.🙏
Snowing in the Sudan the first time in human history is also noteworthy😮
Fascinating but I wish you had included maps of the affected Sahara area and shown the development iof this weather phenomenon during the narrative.
Sow seeds from aircraft?
In prehistoric times, it seems that the Sahara Desert was partly green and flooded, as indicated by some rock carvings depicting a sort of marine animals.
The Earth is still a living planet, with drastic climate changes, alternating periods of optimus climaticus - that is very warm - and glacial ones with widespread glaciers and ice sheets, and this long before man appeared on this planet. The last optimus climaticus period was around AD 1000 when christened Scandinavians colonized Greenland - it was green at that time -and cultivated the land and practiced husbandry. There are still some letters preserved, addressed to their relatives at home. By the 13th century, a papal mission sent to inquire after them, didn't find any trace, but only snow and ice. The community had either succumbed to the cold or had been killed by the local Eskimos. Or both.
All these climate changes are connected to the Sun's activity.
How can this be a “dramatic change” when it has happened in the past? It’s just a rare event that happens from time to time.
WHy are scientists "panicking"? Scientists do not panic, they observe, record, hypothesize!
It doesn't mean anything, the deserts are full of large waterways that are clearly flowing heavily from time to time. This has happened in my lifetime before and also the snow falls from time to time. It is pitiful to watch this.
When I was little I watched a film by Disney on a desert blooming due to high rainfall.
Make the Sahara great again
0:16 NO ! It "did not leave scientists scrambling for answers" it was all accurately forecasted far ahead in time by the scientist and it happened exactly and it was told"
The climate is changing without human interference.
How's come this was not a big time news story world wide when it happened?
10mins of non stop Rambling
Sloppy/lazy editing. Too many images were of maps and areas of the USA, NOT the Sahara.
Shoulda have water tanks by now for rain collection and stack them up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Warmer oceans means more evaporation, hence more rain. No big surprise for meteorologists.
Death Valley/ Mojave flooded last year. Another desert soaked.
New Mexico bloomed after 25 years of minimal rainfalls.
Why have we not heard about this in any other media ?
Because you’re looking at the wrong media.see suspicious observers series.
The desert is getting green from the south and the west, isn't that great?
It dried up 50 years ago, and the water is back-brilliant! It goes to show that it was raining also back then, but nobody noticed, did they?
