What happened to the Fertile Crescent?

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.

The sedentary lifestyle, the switch to agriculture and the building of villages and later on of cities spread from there, and into the fertile crescent for the very reason that is WAS fertile and very suitable for agriculture.
