    If the climate continue to change as our betters keep telling us … pretty soon it will be time for . a Trump Tower, golf & ski resort ….
    “Trumps Sahara Ski Club’.

  4. You may be right Warren but if they can’t suppress the fact it isn’t the warmest year ever then they’ll say it isn’t BECAUSE of Global Warming. That convoluted logic seems to go unquestioned by our Head Nodding Media.
    I wonder how confused David Phillips is when he sees snow in the Sahara. A few years ago he wrote in the National Post that Canada should get used to no more snow EVER for Christmas. David Phillips, BTW is Senior Climatologist for Environment Canada donca know.

  7. Yes people. Drought was also a significant factor leading to the unrest in Syria and the subsequent civil war. Water shortage and drought is already a huge issue in the Middle East. And it is going to get a lot worse. There are many predictions that much of the area will become unlivable due to very high temperatures and water shortages.

  11. Here … let me help you with that … impose a carbon tax on wealthy Western, Christian nations and transfer their wealth to Syria (and the entire Third world) … because all that white privilege aka civilization and industrialization and Information(age) … STOLE the Resources, nay … the very life and health of Gaia from the poor of the world.
    And there’s a LOT MORE of “them” than “us” (apologies to David Gilmore for misusing his self loathing) … and if we keep importing “them” onto our voter rolls … it will soon be OVER … as the West actually helps drive the Bowie knife into our own heart.

  12. For all you progressive Liberals and Democrats that started the Globull Warming thing and have now graduated to pushing the “White Guilt” thing I’d like you all to know I’m going full tilt in praying to Frosty to bring it on! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow cause you guys will be the first to go!

  13. Al Gore must have flown in secretly to massage a little Islamic nutsack and have his chakras oiled.

  15. “Drought was also a significant factor leading to the unrest in Syria and the subsequent civil war.”
    Bullpoop! The most significant factor was Obama arming the religious radicals.

  16. “Water shortage and drought is already a huge issue in the Middle East.”
    To quite a famous climatologist describing California, “Most it’s a f*cking desert.”

  17. Until late last week I was hearing a broad media consensus about how winter for the East Coast US was becoming mild for the last couple of months of winter. Looking at AccuWeather’s current long range temperature charts for February and March in Toronto it looks like another extreme cold snap for the last half of February and below average temps for all of March. That puts the Dec 21st 90 day “above average” NOAA 3 month forecast outlook map on its head (where TO was supposed to be average and the East Coast above average). Given the 350 mile distance between TO and NYC what does one suppose are the chances of an early spring in the Big Apple? Another media spread lie for them to spread kitty litter over later when they’re shown to be dead wrong and still buried under snow and ice.

  19. Correction: No EXTREME weather that cannot be pinned on human-induced-runaway-Climate Change … mild, sunny, days of 75deg. F. … like everyday in Gore’s hometown of Santa Barbara … are thanks to Jerry Brown’s carbon taxes, increased gas taxes, and increased auto registration fees

  20. Another aspect is the moisture contained in that snow. Combined with the higher levels of the plant food carbon dioxide – Is the Sahara greening again?
    And I believe someone here at SDA has already declared 2018 as the warmest on record.

  22. I don’t think a half inch of snow is going to end the Saharan drought, that will be gone as soon as the sun gets up over the hump. But doesn’t Dairy Queen have a trademark on that picture?
    Seriously, snow in the northern Sahara is not that unusual, it probably happens every two or three years, just like you might see snow around Las Vegas once in a while. They often get into swirls of colder air that get trapped underneath highs across France and central Europe.
    The Atlas mountains in Morocco and Algeria regularly have snow at higher elevations, and the Sahara slopes down from that range so I imagine where that picture was taken, it’s probably well above sea level and also into the mid-30s of latitude, just like Flagstaff, Arizona which is a ski resort.
    The idea that it never rains or snows in the Sahara is based on experience from the eastern Sahara. Near the border of Egypt and Sudan there are locations that have never recorded rain, maybe over a hundred years they might, but not in their shorter periods. But the western Sahara is not quite as extreme, the sand dunes there are partly due to the prevailing easterly winds blowing the sand as far west as the ocean (and across the ocean in dust clouds that tropical weather forecasters monitor closely because they affect how hurricanes develop).
