Prior to humans industrializing the Sahara desert was green, 11,000 - 5,000 years ago.

The world regularly adjusts, California has had more fires historically (and less).

I agree things are changing, but it's not clear who or what is causing it. That's really my only thoughts on the subject. Seems CO2 has a smaller impact than what ever has caused the Sahara to turn into a desert.

Here's a to-scale visual timeline of the earth's temperature change over the last 20,000 years. See if you can find anything anomalous ;)

Classic XKCD: an incredibly tall image that ends in the Hockey Stick. The winky face is what really settles it, though. QED. ;)
