Sahara Jungle 10 000 years ago

A recent study brings us extremely worrying news: in 50 years, rising temperatures will dramatically affect the lives of more than three billion people.

10,000 years ago, the Sahara Desert was one of the wettest areas on Earth

This situation is proving extremely unfortunate, especially if we take into account the problems related to food security for these people whose agricultural land will become useless, notes Futurism.

The study points out that on every inhabited continent there will be a series of regions whose conditions will be extremely harsh and will not allow human life, among these regions are: Brazil, North Africa or India. This increase in temperatures will lead to the expansion of the temperate climate to more northern regions: Canada or even the Arctic.

The direct consequence of these changes in environmental conditions will be the increase in the number of climate refugees, who will have to move from regions close to the equator to the north and south of the planet in search of less affected regions.
