The Sahara Desert is SHRINKING as plants grow, land becomes more GREEN, thanks to rising CO2

11/22/2023 // Ethan Huff

An award-winning geologist and climate researcher at the University of Cologne in Germany says that climate fanatics who warn about the expansion of deserts due to global warming are lying.

Dr. Stefan Kröpelin, who specializes in the study of the eastern Sahara Desert and its climatic history, has been active in the field over there for more than 40 years. He said in a recent interview that deserts like the Sahara are actually shrinking, meaning they are becoming greener with plants and vegetation.

Going back as far as the late 1980s, rains have been spreading across northern Sudan and elsewhere in northern Africa. This has had the effect of greening the region and making the harsh Sahara Desert smaller than it once was.

"The desert is shrinking," Dr. Kröpelin said in the interview. "It is not growing."

(Related: Earlier this year, PBS announced the unveiling of a new "climate psychology therapist" to help mentally ill climate fanatics cope with the reality of carbon.)

The climate is always "gradually" changing

Based on the vast multitude of sediment cores collected coupled with the proxy data they yielded, Dr. Kröpelin says that the Sahara Desert will continue greening as rains move northward through it towards southern Europe.

"The most important studies that we conducted all show that after the ice age, when global temperatures rose, the Sahara greened," Dr. Kröpelin explained. "The monsoon rains increased and the ground water rose."

Over many years, all that new water led to the growth and spread of both vegetation and the wildlife that feeds on it. In other words, the Sahara Desert is slowly turning into the Sahara forest, or perhaps the Sahara jungle.

But wait: What about the so-called "dramatic tipping point" for the climate that researchers at the Potsdam Institute (PIK) and elsewhere claim is going to occur in an instant, destroying everything in its path? Dr. Kröpelin is skeptical about these claims, explaining that the scientists who claim this "never did any studies themselves in any climate zone on the earth, and they don't understand how complex climate change is."

Besides the occasional catastrophic geological event, the climate is always changing, Dr. Kröpelin says.

"It's not how nature works," he explained about the cataclysmic scenarios put forth by today's leading climate fanatics. "Things change gradually."

"We have to be careful that things don't get half a degree warmer, otherwise everything will collapse, is, of course, complete nonsense."

Further describing the "tipping point" concept as "baseless," Dr. Kröpelin is insistent that the slowly changing climate is completely normal, and that people need not worry as they are being told by the "experts" to do.

"Much more indicates that they won't happen than that they will happen," Dr. Kröpelin says about the "tipping point" claims.

Last year at a gathering in Munich, Dr. Kröpelin also addressed the idea of carbon dioxide (CO2)-induced climate tipping points, calling them completely outlandish. He also called the prospect of the Sahara Desert somehow spreading into Europe due to global warming completely preposterous.

"This report will be called 'misinformation' by the Climate Cult and the professor will be trashed on the web, such as a wiki entry," one commenter wrote about how Dr. Kröpelin is treading on thin ice with his scientific beliefs.

"Some kid with a connection in the family basement knows about 'deniers' even if the location of the eastern Sahara Desert is a complete mystery."

Skies turn green in South Dakota

Social media users posted stunning footage of the ‘derecho’ effect

© Twitter / @aafaque33

Skies over Sioux Falls, South Dakota turned an eerie shade of green on Tuesday night as a strong storm known as a ‘derecho’ rolled through the state. Onlookers posted videos and photos on social media showcasing the unusual weather phenomenon.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a derecho is a “widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms.”

One such storm passed through South Dakota and its neighboring states on Tuesday, with tornado-like winds reaching speeds of up to 160kph. Before the storm hit, it caused the skies to turn a shade of green, which was captured by both onlookers and traffic cameras.

The Elite's Plan to Kill Us - Insider George Green Speaks (Video)

Sunday, September 26, 2021 9:46

by N.Morgan

Our current situation was planned long ago by the evil elites, who feel our lives are worthless and work towards our total enslavement. Whistleblower George Green is a former Investment Banker, Real Estate Developer, Securities underwriter and broker who exposed the Luciferian plans to depopulate the world by any means necessary. His family was involved in the meat packing industry and had connections with bankers, senators and military. George was recruited by elite business men to run and restructure companies for additional profits. 

In other words mergers and acquisitions, eliminate so called waste, better known as (employees). He would receive a percentage of the profits after restructuring companies and he enjoyed the monopoly game as he called it. He was invited to a meeting in Aspen, Colorado with world leader and during this meeting he was asked if he wanted the job as the Finance Chairman for the United States under the Jimmy Carter administration. Now remember, this was 2 years before Jimmy Carter was “elected”.

New CO2 Science: From Climate Demon to Saint

Published on April 8, 2019

Written by John O'Sullivan

The new millenium is seeing revolutionary change in our understanding of carbon dioxide (CO2). Once the demon global warming gas, scientists are increasingly accepting they got that wrong. We examine some of the astonishing developments.
Robin Wylie, is a doctoral candidate in volcanology, at University College London. Like other experts in this field he will shock you with a surprising new fact. Planet Earth is a heavy smoker. The true extent of its habit, though, has only recently begun to surface.
Until around the start of this new century, the academic consensus was that volcanic output of carbon dioxide from erupting volcanoes was tiny. However, the science is now revealing a hidden side to our leaking planet.
In 1992, it was thought that volcanic degassing released something like 100 million tons of CO₂ each year. Around the turn of the millennium, this figure was getting closer to 200 million tons.

ICLEI Plots New Course For External Financing For Nature-Based Smart City Solutions

Wikipedia Commons

Written By: Ingrid Coetzee and Kobie Brand January 28, 2018

Essentially, ICLEI is promoting Public-Private Partnerships to finance green projects and development of Smart Cities. The fear factor to do so is a) population is still exploding and b) most people are moving to cities. Like climate change, both are wildly exaggerated.  ⁃ TN Editor

The United Nations World Cities Report 2016, Urbanization and Development: Emerging Futures, predicts that by 2030 two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities. It further forecasts that the urban populations of developing countries will have doubled and that the area covered by cities could triple. This report also points out that for megacities, the greatest growth will take place in the developing regions, and that medium and small cities (with less than one million inhabitants) are the fastest growing urban centers.

In a rapidly urbanizing world, both city governments and the natural resources that we all depend on, are under pressure to meet increased demand for infrastructure, land, water and other requirements. In addition, rapid urbanization trends will increase resource consumption patterns and greenhouse gas emissions, which will further exacerbate climate change impacts.

Meeting these increasing demands places strain on the financial resources of cities. At the local level, budgets and policies for addressing development and infrastructure challenges, as well as climate adaption and disaster reduction strategies, are determined by a complex mix of growth and development priorities, fiscal systems, legal mandates, institutional factors and political will. Financing for infrastructure development and service delivery in local governments relies largely on intergovernmental transfer payments, grants, subsidies, taxes and other sources that are unsustainable in the long run.

Why do external investments remain low at city level?

It is commonly recognized that while the “money is there”, actual investment into “green”, low carbon, climate resilient projects remains very low and even completely out of reach for most cities. The reasons are complex: In certain parts of the world, the capacity of city governments to secure additional external funds is often hampered by a lack of capacity and limited access to external funding due to poor credit ratings. Another reason is the lack of “bankable” projects. Cities’ appetites for venturing outside of their normal revenue streams and fiscal allocations, with associated budgeting and reporting processes and cycles, remain relatively low. Supported by traditional public service planning frameworks and a “business as usual” outlook, government officials are often not expected nor encouraged or equipped to create attractive, innovative, profitable and sustainable business propositions which would draw new public and private investors to the table. Traditionally, the focus is more on day-to-day basic service delivery and maintenance than to test, transform, disrupt and co-create innovative projects that would redefine our cityscapes and systems. And in some countries, public finance policy and regulatory requirements also contribute to low external investment at city level.

However, this is changing. Today there are thousands of cities that understand the value of creative and integrated development plans that will give them a competitive edge, create sustainable value and increase the quality of life for their communities. One such community is our growing ICLEI network of over 1 500 cities and other subnational governments, large and small, who have all embraced sustainability as part of their futures. And for many of these trailblazers, working with nature is no longer optional. A thriving, and often improved and expanded, natural environment of green corridors, healthy ecosystems, ample and safe green open spaces, food gardens, green and blue infrastructure and accessible, easy, daily community engagement with nature, is deeply embedded in the vision of these cities.

Making room for nature

Fiscal policy lies at the heart of creating an enabling environment for embracing sustainability, and nature-based solutions in particular, as integral to addressing the multiple challenges associated with rapid urbanization. Our cities, especially those fast-growing urban nodes in Asia and Africa, urgently need to rethink the way in which they approach, plan and prioritize budgets. City governments need to work with nature – rather than against it – when planning and building our cities. In order to make this shift towards working with nature and adopting nature-based solutions, the very principles that underpin planning, budgeting and fiscal policy at local level, need to be reviewed or, in many instances, completely turned around.
