The Sahara desert is growing at an approximate rate of 0.6 kilometres outwards in each direction each year. However, the southern Sahara is growing much faster than the north due to the moistening winds of the Mediterranean.

The myth that the Sahara is growing due to Global Warming is completely false. It actually occurs largely as the cause of desertification, which in turn is caused by overgrazing from African nomads' herds.
