Climate History of N'Djamena (Chad)

If you followed a little bit the news about past or modern climate change, you probably saw several times something like "temperature will rise by 4°C", or "temperatures were 10°C colder during Stone Age", etc.
This kind of information does not permit to figure out what kind of environment was going on.
This simulation has been performed on 16 cities around the world, I aim to locate over the 21,000 years the best modern climate analogue for each of them. Enjoy !

With these climate charts, I can see HOW green the "Green Sahara" could be....and how Lake Chad could be as gigantic as it became. Apparently N'Djamena was still somewhat "green" to about the time of Constantine in Rome.
It would be interesting to see places on the other side of the Green Sahara.... Marrakesh, Morocco; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Biskra, Tunisia.

[@Bombersman]

Biskra is in Algeria

I'm curious about Cairo. You know, to give an idea of ancient Egypt when the Pyramids were built.

These videos are really interesting and relaxing. I'm looking forward to more in this series 😊🩷

I really wanted to see the history of the climate of the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Sakhalin), this is my hometown where I live, it’s interesting how it changed from the tundra climate to the continental climate

[@Kaldisti]

For now I've planned 16 cities. The closest ones to your position are Beijing and Irkutsk. But Later I can plan other places x)

[@paulbrower]

Worth remembering: the abslute amount of rainfall can not be understood as a detrmination of whether a place is"humid" or "arid", Calgary and Berlin both get about as about as much precipitation as N'Djamena. The difference is that patterns of temperature in both places are cooler, so rain and snw are more likely to go into soil moisture and less likely to evaporat before they can feed the plant life. Of course, when there is more than a meter of precipitation per year, even a tropical location is 'humid' enough to generate rivers. .

The cafe on Hospital Road must have been lovely once

[@nicolaiby1846]

Love these videos!

[@chrisagrippa]

Really cool to see what's an arid region now once hosted rainforests

[@paulbrower]

The American Southwest seems to have been much wetter during the Ice Age, if for very different reasons than was the Sahel. I'd love to see climate charts for Las Vegas or Phoenix. It was not rainforest, but there were big lakes in what were the deserts of the Great Basin and the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. Also worthy of attention is Pakistan (especially the site of Mohenjo Daro, a place with a very early civiliationin rainier times.

[@Asterensum]

Great video
Also interesting would be the yearly temperature curve at the glacial maximum compered to for example that from 2020 side to side for different places in Europe.
I just can't imagine what's like to live in Paris for one year with the climate from 17000 years ago. 😅

[@trueanimationfan6542]

You should do one for Miami since I’m interested to see how much cooler it might have been right after the last glacial period

[@paulbrower]

Try Orlando, which at least will not be inundated!

[@iwantbepromic6207]

In the part where it is predicted on the climate till 2100 , I’m interested on what scenario of global warming did you use , the more optimistic ones like 2-3C or the more pessimistic ones like 4-6C ?

[@Kaldisti]

RCP4.5, the median one

[@paulbrower]

The more optimistic ones have been shattered.

[@santiagodemarco547]

Congratulations from Argentina.

[@Desfighter1]

can you make another lost world video about arabian gulf

[@chrisagrippa]

Any cities planned for Australia/New Zealand?

[@Kaldisti]

For Australia I've planned Adelaide

[@paulbrower]

@@Kaldisti Good choice.
Any for the USA? I suggest Detroit, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Orlando.

[@stefanpfeiffermerino7633]

Did you take the pictures at the beginning of the video?

[@Kaldisti]

Nope I picked it in YT

[@stefanpfeiffermerino7633]

@@Kaldisti Well... now you have an idea for an unusual and not so safe travel destination 😂

[@paulbrower]

@@stefanpfeiffermerino7633 Utah is safe, although heatstroke is anobvious menace in rhe summer.

[@stefanpfeiffermerino7633]

@@paulbrower As someone who lives in anplace with hot summers i think i could handle that.
At least they are not humid.
And as i like to have proper seasons and plenty of sunshine states like Utah or New Mexico are quite appealing to me.

Give me Hanoi Vietnam.

I planned Singapore, but I could add more cities, later
