Greening: Rare, Heavy September Rainfalls Bring Back Lakes in the Sahara

"Nothing you’ll hear about in the climate propaganda media"

North Africa seems to be greening as a result of climate change, which mostly occurs naturally.

Satellite photos and studies have shown that the Sahara desert has been shrinking over the past 40 years, e.g. read here and here.

The latest news is from the southeastern Moroccan desert, which is among the driest around the world, where it is reported to have gotten up to 100 mm of rain within a 24 hour period in September. Hard hit were villages 400 miles from the capital city of Rabat, including Tata, reports Al Jazeera here.

Once dry lakes are filling again

“What’s also fascinating is that normally dry lakes in the Sahara are filling due to this event,” said Moshe Armon, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Earth Sciences and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Several of these lakes are visible in the image as dark blue areas, including one in Morocco’s Iriqui National Park (shown in detail within the inset circle).

“It’s been 30 to 50 years since we’ve had this much rain in such a short space of time,” added Houssine Youabeb of Morocco’s General Directorate of Meteorology. See more photos here.

“Preliminary satellite analysis shows accumulations of many tens to more than 200 millimeters of rainfall in the areas affected—roughly equivalent to what the region receives in a year. The rainfall accumulation estimates are based on NASA’s IMERG (Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM) data,” NASA reported.

The rains, of course, are welcome, making a harsh region a bit less harsh for those living there. Nothing you’ll hear about in the climate propaganda media.

Bill Gates’ New Plan: Cut Down 70 Million Acres of Trees to “Combat Global Warming”

To be buried to prevent carbon emissions.It sounds like a bad joke, but the project has already been launched in US national parks. Millions of trees are to be felled "for the sake of the climate." The project is called the Carbon Lockdown Project and involves logging robots cutting down trees and dragging them to large pits where they are buried under oxygen-free conditions. "One ton of biomass in the soil is one ton of carbon dioxide not in the atmosphere," says Ning Zeng, the founder of the project. Bill Gates sponsors such a "climate company" called Kodama Systems, which has set itself the goal of burying one billion tons of biomass.

The Entire Solar System is Changing

CLIMATE CHANGEThe Sun has changed its activity dramatically during recent years. This is particularly evident on the outer planets of the solar system, and Free West Media presents a unique compilation of the drastic changes that some planets are currently undergoing and that are likely awaiting Earth as well.

The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
