Other people have mentioned the illusion of the photography, but there is also a slightly disturbing reason why there is desertification I'm many of the cradles of humanity.

Many ancient civilizations becames victims and toppled due to localized climate change due to human expansion (soil erosion, deforestation, overexploitation of hunting stocks).

But I'm sure global climate disaster will be different... Right?
