      Planting new forests can still combat large scale problems our species faces. Some of you are so defeatist you not only refuse to come up with solutions to problems, but you actively scoff and say "what's the point?" whenever someone more driven and capable than you is working to solve a problem.

      @Grant Leindecker We needing wood is not the problem. I think the problem is that after cutting all the wood in an area, we don’t replant them. We destroy the whole forest along with its eco system and use the land for other purpose. No, Alhamdulillah I am not homeless, but as far as i can see only my doors are made of wood, the rest is concrete.😂

    Why pump desalination water which is costly to produce when there are huge water reserves beneath the Sahara?
    Also planting eucaliptus is another terrible idea. It grows fast but it sucks up all the nutrients, and it is a real danger when it comes to forest fires.

      Yes, there is a reason. Due to current wind patterns, there is hardly any rain in the Sahara.
      However, due to global warming, wind patterns are already changing. This summer, the wind direction was reversed and instead of Australia, East Africa got rain. A lot. There was severe flooding. (And in Australia there were fires.)
      For the Sahara this was the wrong side. If West Africa also gets a lot of rain, the Sahara will get vegetation. (Not for the first time.)
      If the Sahara stops being a desert, one result is that it will stop furtilising the South American rainforest. Yes, it sounds weird, but the Sahara really does this. Finely ground organic material mixed with the desert sand is picked up by the east wind and carried over the Atlantic. On the journey it becomes part of rain clouds, which then result in fertilising rain in South America. Part of the rainforest there actually relies on this!

      Teraformming Mars is far better because as we know it, there is no life there. Not to mention, Mars has very weak atmosphere. It's like starting with new program vs. fixing the program. Second, it would offload stress from Earth and move it to Mars, ensuring that our CO2 output becomes balanced. Also, Mars requires more greenhouse gas as it's far away from Sun compared to Earth. Of course, the biggest issue with terraforming is time. It would take enormous amount of time.

Start planing trees in places like Niger and Mali and keep pushing the forests upward over time.

    Clearly, no one did their research on this. Couple scientific points you should know that the people who made this video clearly did not know.
    1) The Sahara desert provides nutrients to the entire Atlantic Ocean. Trade winds move across the Sahara, pick up soil/sand/nutrients, then deposit those nutrients into the Atlantic ocean, not just the Sahara.
    2) As in point 1, the nutrients from those trade winds help feed corals, fish, and a variety of oceanic life. Specifically, phytoplankton. Which, provides the world with over 70% of its breathable oxygen. So while you have been taught trees provide all the worlds breathable air, you'd be wrong. 2 out of every 3 breathes you take is because of the oxygen phytoplankton produce.

  • @mohammedhassanakbari6722
    @mohammedhassanakbari6722 5 років тому +15

    To go about things the right way, you only reduce the size of the desert and reclaim it by 1/4th and that should start from the southern Edge in the Sahel region as well as the Savannah Between the Congo Rainforest and the Sahara Desert. You should first establish a framework composed of fast growing and commercially important local tree species like Neem, Acacia as well as Forest and Fruit trees. Once it has been established you can plant a full fledged forest on this framework as well as expand grassland in the southern edge of the desert and also create more water based habitats like Marshes, Lakes and Ponds, taking advantage of the resulting increased precipitation patterns & even restore & Expand Water bodies already in Crisis like Lake Chad & Niger. It is because at one time it was said that these lakes were so wast that they stretched from the Congo Forest & went till the Sahara Desert & covered Grasslands as well. This was their earlier state, whereas now they are dying and shrinking like the Aral Sea.
    Also Do not use Eucalyptus as it is having heavy water requirements and it will deplete scare ground water resources making Water Scarcity & Desertification worse. It also has a high Oil Content & is very Flammable & its leaves do not readily decompose thereby making soil poorer. So this is not to be done at all.
    As far as Locust Plague is concerned, then you can use biological controls like birds etc to eat it.
    Now as far as the Dust that Fertilizes the Amazon is concerned, then going by my Plan & not taking more than 1/4th of the Desert Area, so we still are left with Ample space of Desert & Sand to go about it as well. Also That way even the Same Dust will fertilize the Congo Rain forest as well. Because it is just next door, whereas the Amazon is on the Other side of the Atlantic on an altogether different continent.
    The other part of the Plan is to expand from the Forest at the Foothills of the Atlas Mountains, we expand that & add to greater green areas in the Desert. We also make more Oasis habitats as well as Corridors for migration & movement of different species as well.
    Also countries like where the Nile Passes the Desert like Egypt and Sudan can start forestry Projects & also ease population pressure away from the Nile to other parts of the country & many streams & canals can be dug to bring water into remote desert areas making them conducive for forestry, agriculture as well as human settlement. But we need to primarily decide Land use patterns and also how to maintain balances & sustainable use of resources. Also Population control should be prioritized as after-all we still are playing a delicate game here.

Filtering water that is a trait only found in their cousins, the bamboo shrimp. They would start to eat everything, not just leftover food and detritus, but the actual plastic pots that the crypts are in with rockwool. It's crazy, and the only explanation is that before I tissue cultured my own bucephalandra I was feeding super worms to my tortoises, super worms are known to be able to consume polyethylene, aka plastic. Anyway, when I placed the explant of Bucephalandra into the murashige and skoog medium, I must've accidentally touched the medium, and the bacteria from the super worms was placed and left to reproduce, and when I put the bucephalandra into my tank after the vessel was full, the shrimp were feeding on the bucephalandra, and must've consumed the bacteria that forever stayed in their system and became genetic.

    Rather than relying solely on desalination water treatment plants to get the water, it would probably be beneficial to also connect pipelines from the ocean that would drain into massive man-made lakes in the Sahara. The evaporated water would enter into the water cycle and add rain into the environment, and since it's the desert, it's not like the salt water lake would damage the environment.

      You’re right that it will go back to being green. The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (ﷺ), stated this over 1,400 years ago:
      It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not begin until the land of the Arabs ***once again*** becomes meadows and rivers.” Narrated by Sahih Muslim 157.

    The less costly alternative is creating inland seas using tunnels or canals first. Then let new weather patterns emerge around those new seas/lakes. And then go from there. So we could terraform maybe 25-30% of the Sahara and it leaves 60-70% of sand to fertilize the Amazon basin. I don't think we need to terraform the whole thing.

      I've watched videos where farmers talk about rolling out hay on bare ground,turning Cattle or something out on it for a day then let the land rest long enough to grow grass.I also watched a vidio of some guy in Arizona who planted and watered grass. Built whats called a chicken tractor so he could move his chickens to a different spot daily and the grass where the chickens fertilized it is very thick and green. To me it seems like most of these regreening type video's are overly complicating things at best. Sometimes I wonder if an "experts" job is to make everything as complicated and expensive as possible.Myself,I find Allen Savory's take on how to reverse desertification interesting.And from what I've seen online he's not the only one using such tactics.

Solar panel reflects the light and heat of the sun and covers the sand below it.. Eventually the sand cools down and grasses will grow.. Bring in some cattle to fertilize the grassland under the Mega solar farm.. Then start planting small to medium sized tropical fruit trees..
