"Chad" means "lake" in the regional language there, so Lake Chad is also redundant in meaning. English loves these tautological place names.

Unfortunately, the region you pointed out in India is experiencing rapid desertification due to climate change. Rainfall has been reduced by up to 65 percent in some places, and land that used to be suitable for agriculture is no longer arable. Lots of people in villages from that region are starting to suffer, because enough food can't be grown to support their lives :(.

I remember an old teacher in the middle school, she said: A long time ago the sahara desert was green but the roman empire took it down cus they need it do the empire (ships and stuff) and that memory has follow me past the years.

"The hour (apocalypse) won't happen until the land of the Arabs go back to being full of meadows and rivers." _Muhammad peace be upon him. More than 14 centuries, Muhammad, peace be upon him, had made two prophecies. First, that the land that the Arabs have known for tens of thousands of years to be a waterless desert was full of greenery and running surface water. Second, that that same unforgiving empty land will again be full of greenery and rivers. NONE at that time and geographical area could have known that. Especially that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was illiterate. NONE could have imagined such a thing let alone to predict it. Muhammad, peace be upon him, was called a magician, crazy and a liar, yet he was never apologetic and went with full force in what he believed in. He relentlessly preached the oneness of God and ridiculed the pagans despite all prosecution. He made all kind of unimaginable claims at his time, despite being laughed at, but it's all coming to be true. With global warming and a new ice age, the desert will again become full of life. But at that time the Quran yet again miraculously describes space as seamless fabric that at the end of times will rip open. Then nothing will help a human being but his good deeds. Or he will be recycled.

I really love the similarities between cosmologies in different belief systems. I have been wondering where I would see stories that mimic the story of being expelled from the garden of Eden. I've long thought that it could be a story about either the desertification of the Sahara. I hadn't heard the story of Phaethon before and it really sounds similar, like a metaphorical step beyond the same story or a mis-translation.

You forgot another development that will green the deserts -- the breakdown of the jet streams. The jet streams separate the latitudes of climate. The cold polar region separated from the temperate. The temperate zone separated from the desert latitudes. That is why the Sonoran, Mojave, Sahara, and Arabian deserts are all in those latitudes. When the jet streams break down, storms will take more unpredictable paths. That is what has caused the odd weather in North America, for instance. I expect storms to then randomly move over the Sahara as well.

They're very common in the leeward side of mountainous tropical islands, and in continents at transition areas to warm deserts where external factors discouraging trees aren't as strong. These places get a lot more precipitation (15-30 inches or 375-700 mm per year) than true deserts (less than 10 inches or 250 mm per year), but the high evapotranspiration rates mean that most of the rain that does fall evaporates rather quickly. Some examples: Guánica dry forest, southwestern Puerto Rico media.metrolatam.com/2018/10/11/14965610422b3b2eb84db-4fdde950f89531908eb3db04857cd430.jpg Hawaii has multiple dry forest areas, and they hold the bulk of Hawaiian biodiversity www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/tdfpacific/hawaii.html The bulk of forests in Australia qualify as dry--either tropical to the north or Mediterranean to the southeast and southwest www.ecolsoc.org.au/hot-topics/australias-seasonally-dry-tropical-forests-need-attention Mediterranean forests and scrublands are present in the warm temperate latitudes on the western sides of continents. Areas like these include the western USA (especially California), southwest South America (mainly Chile), South Africa, the Maghrib (coastal areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), southern Europe (a nearly continuous belt from Portugal to Turkey), and various pockets in Australia. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Nahkealehtinen_kasvillisuus.png

This is most exciting video I saw on KZread in a long time. Sahara regreening is such a fascinating topic. Wonder if one day we will see super canals dug to fill those depressions to fill them with sea water. That could change the climate so much.

@@arjunsatheesh7609 -- In Europe, the Taino word "zavana" became the Latin word "zauana" (in old writing, u and v were often written and printed using the same letter) in 1516 and then that became the Spanish word "çavana" in 1519. So the word would have to have been introduced into Spain after the last Arabs were driven out of the Iberian peninsula (1492). The Arabic word for savanna is "alsaafana", which is very close. Unfortunately it appears that no etymological dictionary of Arabic exists.

Alexander the Great's army were the first Greeks to encounter Elephants in India. And most probably the Tigers. Lions were once native to North Africa, Arabia, Anatolia and Persia along with South Asia. Now they are extinct in all of those places with a small populatuon natively living in India. So that's why Greeks probably knew about Lions.

Hippos lived in islands in the Mediterranean at one point, they were much smaller though and this may have been before what we call Greek or Hellenic civilisation existed. Can't remember. But it was due to a phenomenon we call insular dwarfism, where species are smaller on islands

Awesome just Awesome work !

The depressions in the Sahara can be made into salt water lakes by digging canals to the Med, Red Sea and Atlantic. The large water surface will evaporate causing rain. The rain will green up parts of the desert. In time the canals can be blocked as rain keeps the levels constant which will eventually turn into fresh water lakes, or lakes far less salty. It will also counter raising seal levels in the world.

The diagram at 3:55 is VERY misleading. Our perihelion is 91.5 million miles from the Sun, while aphelion is 94.5 million miles. That's a 3% difference. I know you clarified that this isn't the cause of winter, but when people see that diagram, they often assume that these distances cause seasons.

@@Makeitwithmanny I teach high schoolers, and one thing I've learned is that people only remember a small portion of what you tell them. Can you repeat all of the facts in this video? Our brains only save a small portion of what they observe, and it is more likely to be things that confirm our beliefs. So if someone already thinks that the Earth gets drastically closer to the Sun in summer, they will see the graphic (which comes FIRST), confirm their misconception, and likely not pay full attention to the explanation that follows. Derek Muller from Veritasium did his PhD research on learning with videos. I'd recommend checking out his explanations of learning and misconceptions.

The issue wasn't that amazon burning which is normal but to a much smaller scale, it was mainly concerning because large swathes of land were being cleared for agriculture like cattle and soybean. These could lead to a permanent loss of rainforest habitats unlike natural fires.
