Saharan Heat Amped Up by Climate Change
2015-08-17 17:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Discovery News: The searing Sahara Desert is getting even hotter, at a rate two to four times greater than the rest of the tropics, say scientists in a new study. That puts it on par with the Arctic which is also exceeding the global warming average. But whereas the widely studied Arctic "amplification" melts sea ice and permafrost, the Sahara warming could be reducing the huge outflow of dust that blows off Africa and be causing big changes to regional weather -- and local people.

Its hard to fathom infinity; even a scale such as a hundred years can be difficult to digest. When faced with the topic of climate change, skepticism was a natural response.
