Holy wall of text batman. Major h.u.a. situation. I am pretty sure we have "landscaped" quite large portions of the earth into desert. How do we not have the power to do that? We have herds that eat all the grass they can eat. We have endless fields once covered in trees. You are the one who is confused. You are can't seem to understand massive deforestation necessarily impacts climate. I know about the ice ages and the co2 cycle, doofus. We are talking about our "landscaping" (hilarious euphemism for desertification) and it's effects on our climate in the inter-glacial period we are in right now which you flatly deny.
Desertification? Where? The Sahara? The Gobi? Mojave?
This is annoying.
I'm just confused by your logic. The Sahara formed into a desert type environment approximately 11000 years ago. Humanity was supposedly nomadic (not agricultural) stone implements and not much else technologically. Thinking animal skin clothing, possibly wooden spears with stone heads, etc. How exactly did they cut down all the trees and make the Sahara into desert from once lush fauna? The theory of anthropogenic climate change comes from the last 140 years or so from the beginning of the Industrial age. Which deserts have been formed in the last 140 years? All the ones that I am aware of were for far older than 140 years. Ancient manuscripts describe the big famous ones in excellent detail. I am just trying to figure out which ones are newly formed? The dust bowl in the 30's was completely recovered farmland within a decade or so. This was an object lesson about farming practices. The land recovered because rain kept coming and they stopped over utilizing the same farm land. They restarted rotational crop farming. I guess my point is that the land restores itself if the rain keeps coming. The changes in rain patterns are not manmade and the Earth is not warming in any unusual or alarming rate. We just happened to be in a warming cycle. When it turns toward another cooling cycle, will this also be because of human beings?
Grazing and hunting and fire. I already said that. I have said a number of things you keep ignoring. That is obnoxious. Anyone can look this shit up. For example:

Beginning in roughly 10,000 B.C., people around the world adopted large-scale farming as part of the Neolithic Revolution. But humans in need of resources have been shaping their surroundings for much, much longer than that. As a new study published in the journal Science Advances suggests, Stone Age people in southeastern Africa used fire to intentionally transform the landscape around Lake Malawi some 85,000 years ago.
“This is the earliest evidence I have seen of humans fundamentally transforming their ecosystem with fire,” says lead author Jessica Thompson, a paleoanthropologist at Yale University, in a statement. “It suggests that by the Late Pleistocene, humans were learning to use fire in truly novel ways. In this case, their burning caused replacement of the region’s forests with the open woodlands you see today.”
