Um... research what makes deserts. Temperature is NOT the major factor. The likelihood of Ohio facing desertification through manmade temperature increase is effectively 0.
For a desert to appear in Ohio, Rocky size Mountain Chains must spark up north of the Great Lakes cutting off the winds which blow the cold air south sparking a rise in moist-warm air which results in rain/snow. Increase in temperature would facilitate an increase in warm-moist air and result in more percipitation and an increase in plant growth. Hell, it might even result in large truck forests such as Washington/Oregon.
