These aren't happening because of climate change, but idk if they're more COMMON b/c of it (re: tag)? The winds from the Sahara fly north every so often and that shit clears the Alps and continues up to the UK. We get orange skies. Our car here (Germany) has been coated in red sand before lol.
Probably not really destroy, but it would change. If it happened naturally though, things living there would most likely either have time to adapt or move...or die, that does happen without humans as well.
probably destroy - been experiencing 100's of millions tons of dust departing and receiving dozens of millions of tons each year for ohhhh I dunno, millions of years, it probably kinda would be expecting some form of consistency like that
Well sure, 99.96% of all the species to ever exist are now extinct. That doesn't mean we can't kill the 0.04% that aren't. Sudden shifts of trade winds can indeed have disastrous consequences, regardless of the cause.

Is this one of this weird videos, where everything is cake?

An exemple :Incredibly, the storm that carried the sand crossed the entire Mediterranean before settling in the alps.

I hung my laundry out once when I lived in Genova Italy. When I brought it in it was covered in orange dust from the Sahara. What a mess

This gives me flashbacks to my encounters with Grape Nuts cereal.
JustDontCare
As a young'n I too was profoundly disappointed by that cereal, by name, should have been a lot better. OR At the very least not borderline inedible.

Fun Fact : Around 27 million tons of nutrient rich dust it carried by weather systems from the Sahara to the Amazon basin each year.

Fertilizer, Ftw!

How come there is still enough dst inthe Sahara...?
sunyudai
Sahara had been growing in recent years, it used to be fertile forests and meadows, especially southern Sahara.
Thisisallyourfault
Saharan sand in the Atlantic also helps prevent hurricane formation. Yaaaaaay!

How much does it regain?

The spice must flow.
BritishGingerLefty
So would re-foresting the Sahara have a detrimental effect on the Amazon?
Theory89
Yes, it would almost certainly destroy it. As will shifting winds due to climate change, though.
Radix865
Probably not really destroy, but it would change. If it happened naturally though, things living there would most likely either have time to adapt or move...or die, that does happen without humans as well.

Pseudosim
On a human scale it would be fine (excluding the clear cutting and burning), but on a geological scale it might slowly wither.
