Maybe, but what about the deserts in Africa, North America, and Asia that are already here, growing in extent and getting hotter? The map is definitely not an accurate prediction.
It's the brown regions (i.e. most of the world) which are expected to desertify. But of course this is not going to be the case. Some parts of Europe, for example, will get wetter throughout the year, and possibly colder in winter & hotter in summer. Already the jet-stream in NW Europe has moved south-east. Then there is the possibility of the Gulf Stream reversing...
