The fertile crescent is not that fertile anymore because of global warming. global warming affects the atmosphere, especially air pollution, and it makes us more vulnerable to the suns heat, as you have noticed maybe that it's very hot lately. the heat has dried up most of the fertile crescent.
Well, I may be wrong (although I'm pretty sure I'm not) but I believe the Fertile Crescent is actually no longer fertile because the people who lived there did not practice sustainable farming. Therefore, they exhausted all of the valuable nutrients in the ground.
