would be greener on the continents with ice reaching further down because without africa there would be no humans and with no humans there would be no greenhouse emissions and global temperatures would be notably cooler.
It would be far different if the land mass of Africa had never existed. The whole tectonic movement would have resulted in different arrangements several supercontinents ago, with their own effects on climate and life itself.
But if Africa just blipped off one day, maybe. Then you have to explore what a sudden loss of land would do to the ocean waters rushing in, the change in Earth rotation due to its mass being shifted, lots of other things.
