"Sensenbrenner also said that he has a "skeptical view" of the "entire issue" of climate change." Where do they get these buffoons? Are their litte training academies out there for wannabe GOP moron legislators?

The clearest result of these climate models, all producing the same results, was for the Sahara desert. There will be a "large increase" in rainfall in the months of June to August in the Sahara. Temperature increases would also be greater all year round, compared with the global average.
These results for the Sahara desert are also in agreement with earlier conclusions by paleoclimatologists, studying the climate in prehistoric times. What is now the Sahara desert was as forested area at the last climatic optimum 7-8000 years ago, which is also strongly demonstrated by the rock paintings of hunting and farming in Algeria's Tassili Mountains - in the middle of the Sahara - made in that era. The climate at that time was about 3 degrees warmer than now.
In West Africa and East Africa, the climate models predict fewer changes. There is believed to be a "small increase" in rainfall, meaning between 5 and 20 percent, in both regions in the December to January period. In West Africa, temperatures will also rise in the same part of the year, while there were no consistent temperature predictions for East Africa.
