The research, published inNature Communications, showed periodic wet phases in the Sahara were driven by changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun and were suppressed during the ice ages.

Firstly you have to distinguish between Climate Change and Global Warming.
Climate has always changed and always will. Full stop end of story.
The planet's temperature is currently ascending but not yet up to the 500 million year average
We have, relatively speaking, just come out of a mini ice age and still recuperating from vast areas of permafrost and aridity. Water is a finite resource so the more that melts then the more is made available through increased rainfall (often including arid lands and deserts)A pioneering study has shed new light on North African humid periods that have occurred over the past 800,000 years and explains why the Sahara Desert was periodically green.
