That has nothing to do with anything.
That region is a lush paradise in Glacial Periods, but in Inter-Glacial Periods it's inhospitable.
That's how it always ways.
12,000 years ago, there was no Persian Gulf. It was the Persian Valley, and a large river flowed through it emptying into a delta that's a few kilometers south of the mouth of the Persian Gulf at the Arabian Sea (which you can see with NASA's ground-penetrating radar images).
There were four rivers that fed that river, and the one died about 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. You can still see the river with satellite images, but you can see it better with the ground-penetrating radar images.
That river flowed right across Saudi Arabia.
When we go back into a Glacial Period, the sea level will drop, the Persian Gulf will disappear, and that dead river will start flowing again and the whole region from the Saudi Peninsula to the Iranian Plateau will be a lush paradise once more.
We'll be having to deal with effing Canadians migrating south to flee the advancing glaciers.
I'd imagine the illegals will start fleeing south, too.
