One of Africa's driest regions — the Sahel — could turn greener if the planet warms more than 2 degrees Celsius and triggers more frequent heavy rainfall, scientists said on Wednesday.

The Sahel stretches coast to coast from Mauritania and Mali in the west to Sudan and Eritrea in the east, and skirts the southern edge of the Sahara desert. It is home to more than 100 million people.

The region has seen worsening extreme weather — including more frequent droughts — in recent years.

But if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated, the resulting global warming — of more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — could change major weather patterns in the Sahel, and in many different parts of the world, scientists say.

1. The only solution is to censor the Republican Party

We must RESIST and fight the GOP everywhere, all the time, no letup. EVERY Republican must be put on notice that they are the PROBLEM, and we will get rid of them... through the vote, or through external means if necessary (legal or societal shame-based methods).
