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. The reforestation should be done with native species and nothing else.

@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.😂

The Amazon has been around for 55 million years in relatively the same state it’s in now, except with more trees. The Sahara only became a desert roughly 6,000 years ago... So, I doubt terraforming the Sahara would drastically effect the Amazon.
@@Rainyumz oceanic life is mostly concentrated around coastal area, if you check map of bioactivity of ocean, you will see that most of the oceans in southern hemisphere are deserts, including the part between Sahara and Amazon basin, so it mostly settles down on the ocean floor.
We should also terraform the Atacama and Sechura Deserts, both of which are in South America. The former is found in northern Chile, while the latter covers up almost all of Peru's coastline.
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.
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!
I say we save the Amazon rain forest first and then work on other areas of the world that have been deforested. In regards to the Sahara, I think terra-forming it would cause problems as he mentioned. So perhaps we should start with stopping the Sahara from expanding? 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.
What if, we plant trees back where we took them away. So we dont change the ecosystems, but bring them back to their former glory. Like the amazon rainforest
Its possible, all those government lands which are empty should be converted into forest lands completely. It would increase the organic material in soil. All empty lands which are of no use must be converted. It will be beneficial to all. That's not the only solution, population bills should be strict and forcefully implemented. We only have population crises. We cannot fill billion peoples stomach. This earth cannot handle 7 billion peoples we must do what is needed not what we want. That must happen otherwise its a doomsday. Ecology and economy must work together.
If we plant 2 trillion trees then we equalies the pollution we create so I request you all who read these coment start planting trees first by yourself and then create tree planting community I wish we will achieve these target one day
@Night Falls their fault for colonialists and most of the population is dumb. Choose politicians for what they say, not what they will do or have done.
Haven't got a backyard at the moment, so that is going to be tough. And planting a tree anywhere else around here is just going to annoy the city planners, or more likely: be cut down by the city's professional gardeners during maintenance.
I used to have my own small forest in my backyard it was a place for animals and a lot of trees and other plants where there until some people came and completely destroyed it ( they cut the trees and trampled the plants) it still makes me sad after 6 years

It will cost Millions to just cut them... then Trillions to and a lifetime to replenish them. Schools and organizations should have mandatory programs to plant trees, organized by government in consultation with ecologists, geologists, etc. Root for the reforestation of the earth!
@@MusicOfEpirus Millions of people will lose there jobs because companies that are cutting tree will shut down or people that use wood for winter to survive will now use gasoline
You need home, not wood. But even if you need wood, there are trees that grow at 10 times the speed of others that are being harvested now. Called Paulownia... That’s one option. Other option we need to GMO trees for construction, and leave natural ones alone. We don’t need jobs and money and trees and gas. We just need to be smart and think better then yesterday, cuz right now we’re doing shit backwards, and we’re all asleep. We don’t challenge the status quo. We’re doing what was always done. We’re no interested in saving ourselves. Europe has half Millenia old homes... no wood in them. They didn’t go hungry. People found better things to do than cut wood... made baguettes, fondue, music, finance, fashion, gardens... the time they would have spent cutting would, they spent it think about improving their state of being.
The whole Sahara? No. Part of it is possible. You could, you probably can get away with 27% of the Sahara, but not much more before creating environmental damage.
@Martin Denny you had it right the first time. Soul is required. Lol there are plants that live in the Sahara though they're just constantly buried by the sand
How is it a fight against climate change if you are changing the climate to do so? Likewise, the type of trees and their location effect temperatures to become higher or lower. Thus planting one type of tree, can actually increase the temperatures elsewhere as opposed to cooling them. Its a relatively new study, but google for it and you'll be shocked at how delicate this whole thing is. Its a balancing act no matter how you look at it.

What if, someone sows blue grass seeds on the Atlantic coast of the Sahara because that grass has roots 50 feet long so it can get into the groundwater and twice a day water vapor rises from the Atlantic and moves inland
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.
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.
I could be wrong but i feel like the people saying it would destroy the amazon actually just have a vested interest in keeping Africa poor. Maybe I need to look into that.
Old Turtle But than we have a plague of plastic eating shrimps to deal with and I’ll have to release my plastic eating shrimp eating whales to eat the shrimps and than someone else will have to release their megeladon’s to stop the whales from over breeding.
Niroon 64 lmao. They are selectively bred and genetically engineered to eat plastic. So they are the same as normal shrimp, they just eat plastic. They don't reproduce any slower, or faster than normal ones. And more whales wouldn't be a problem. They take millions of tons of co2 from the atmosphere each year
aksaek 1 all I know is that I keep a tank for when I cull colorless shrimp. Over time, they bred to be bigger and stronger. 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.
Desert is the ugliest scenery of the world. I don't like desert. I want that there will be no desert in the world because we get no benefit from desert.

Or we could just terraform bit by bit, instead of the whole thing in one go. Or we could just terraform half of it so the Amazon rainforest would still be around.
@@Carlium I'm thinking of the planet and it's ecosystems unlike you and other people do you know how many ecosystems that would put at risk all of them.
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.
TIKI PUNCH That is wrong, if you look at Chernobyl which still remains radioactive, forests took over building and animals are living there too so this is an example of how well the environment can recuperate without human intervention. You can watch the documentary on Netflix called ‘Our Planet’
Check out National Geographic from about 15 years ago showed pictographs and/or petroglyphs indicating the likelihood Northerners deforested what used to be jungle.
I heard of someone who achieved this. He used the technique to put different wild plants cuz wild plants are natured to grow naturally and expand itself.
So making one place green would make another a desert But how big is the Amazon compared to the Sahara would it still make an effect against the climate
It's not just that, a lot of species living in the Amazon would also go extinct unless they plan to move them out to Sahara too but that would be close to impossible which would just lead to more devastating problems.
The Amazon is the last "lung of Earth" we have and not even that, natives, species and plants only existing there disappearing would cause a major damage to the ecosystem which is already being destroyed by corporations. We can't sacrifice one place to restore another, that's no how it works.
It just a theory with no factual basis in real life . Otherwise it would mean that increased foresrt cover has negative impact on climate and environment too OR decreased forest cover has positives that we should celebrate . Nature doesn't work in a straight line like human thinking .
You might be sacrificing one rain forest to give life to another, since this will get rid of the dust storms that blow Sahara dust into the upper atmosphere and deposit it over the Amazon to fertilize the soil there.
I always believe that Earth also need the place like Sahara as much as it needs Amazon rainforest. Imagine the Earth as a spaceship with many compartment and its own functions, there's engine room, crew cabin, leisure time room, entertainment room, kitchen, and the list can go on and on. So, everything is connected. For example, if Sahara get colder, Scandinavia countries or Canada will become a total ice box. Something like that. All we have to do is, keeping all the rooms clean, neat and functional as it's meant to be in order to play its role effectively.
Just transform bits of the Sahara and other deserts. I just watched other feeds on TH-cam. It doesn’t start by planting trees or massive investments. It starts by sowing grasses and tapping into what lies beneath the surface
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.
Nah terraforming mars is a pipe dream that would take tens thousands of years to do right, we’d be better of building space stations like O’neill cylinders and allowing planets to become nature reserves we’re probably only a few centuries of that kind of tech just need more people to take an interest in industrialising space to get the ball rolling.
I think first we should save the remaining forest on the earth.transforming Sahara desert will have very harmful effects on desert wildlife and desert geology.
To some extent maybe but the Amazon has been a rainforest for more than 50 million years the Sahara has only been a desert for 7 thousand years so guess what the Amazon can survive without the dust from the Sahara.
@@DaDunge no it can't it relies mostly on the sand from the sahara so if the sahara turns into a rainforest the amazon will be a desert and it would kill off biodiversity and it would be bad

@@kairon5249 And the time before that? And the time before that? Sahara has been oscillating between green and desert on a period of 24000 years for the last 50 million years.

I feel like there's a reason its a desert
Exactly 👍
Soyboy me to
No just no
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!
True, don't know why humans have this stupid tendency of trying to turn a grassland to a desert and desert to forest.
I say we save the Amazon rain forest first and then work on other areas of the world that have been deforested. In regards to the Sahara, I think terra-forming it would cause problems as he mentioned. So perhaps we should start with stopping the Sahara from expanding? 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.
They did say that the Sahara feeds the trans Atlantic areas, you didn't watch the whole video did you?

Its possible, all those government lands which are empty should be converted into forest lands completely. It would increase the organic material in soil. All empty lands which are of no use must be converted. It will be beneficial to all. That's not the only solution, population bills should be strict and forcefully implemented. We only have population crises. We cannot fill billion peoples stomach. This earth cannot handle 7 billion peoples we must do what is needed not what we want. That must happen otherwise its a doomsday. Ecology and economy must work together.

I keep insisting that every household should plant at least one tree in their back yard if they haven't already done so.
Hmmm
Haven't got a backyard at the moment, so that is going to be tough. And planting a tree anywhere else around here is just going to annoy the city planners, or more likely: be cut down by the city's professional gardeners during maintenance.
I used to have my own small forest in my backyard it was a place for animals and a lot of trees and other plants where there until some people came and completely destroyed it (

That’s one option. Other option we need to GMO trees for construction, and leave natural ones alone.

The problem is not in the Sahara
The problem is in the word "if".
The whole Sahara? No.
Part of it is possible. You could, you probably can get away with 27% of the Sahara, but not much more before creating environmental damage.
Working our way up from central Africa and the green belt would probably be more efficient
No forest on earth is environmentally damaging , how will doing it in Sahara be the first ?
Benjamin because of the animals living there....you can’t change a desert to a forest and act like nothing will change
Originally the Sahara was a lush jungle so why wouldn't it be possible?
@Martin Denny you had it right the first time. Soul is required. Lol there are plants that live in the Sahara though they're just constantly buried by the sand
How is it a fight against climate change if you are changing the climate to do so?
Likewise, the type of trees and their location effect temperatures to become higher or lower. Thus planting one type of tree, can actually increase the temperatures elsewhere as opposed to cooling them.
Its a relatively new study, but google for it and you'll be shocked at how delicate this whole thing is.
Its a balancing act no matter how you look at it.

What if, someone sows blue grass seeds on the Atlantic coast of the Sahara because that grass has roots 50 feet long so it can get into the groundwater and twice a day water vapor rises from the Atlantic and moves inland
Yes you'll need to start at the edges. First the low hanging fruit. Seed bombs by plane, rain catching land features etc
Isn't the prevailing wind direction going the opposite way?
@@downbntout daytime yes
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.
This could all be paid for with a Tobin tax, and provide housing for displaced populations at the same time.
*Hitler has joined the game*
No to be serious it's every 100000 years that it actually goes green by natural
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.
Also sea becomes desert and desert become green just like Mediterranean was once desert and Antarctica was green
Making the Brazilian rainforest a desert and then wanting to go back to Egypt I don't know what to even say!
Desert is the ugliest scenery of the world. I don't like desert.
I could be wrong but i feel like the people saying it would destroy the amazon actually just have a vested interest in keeping Africa poor. Maybe I need to look into that.

Niroon 64 lmao. They are selectively bred and genetically engineered to eat plastic. So they are the same as normal shrimp, they just eat plastic. They don't reproduce any slower, or faster than normal ones. And more whales wouldn't be a problem. They take millions of tons of co2 from the atmosphere each year
aksaek 1 all I know is that I keep a tank for when I cull colorless shrimp. Over time, they bred to be bigger and stronger. 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.
Instead of transforming Sahara desert into a rainforest, we are transforming Amazon rainforest into desert.

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 heard of someone who terraformed the Sahara Desert?
So making one place green would make another a desert
But how big is the Amazon compared to the Sahara would it still make an effect against the climate
It's not just that, a lot of species living in the Amazon would also go extinct unless they plan to move them out to Sahara too but that would be close to impossible which would just lead to more devastating problems.
The Amazon is the last "lung of Earth" we have and not even that, natives, species and plants only existing there disappearing would cause a major damage to the ecosystem which is already being destroyed by corporations. We can't sacrifice one place to restore another, that's no how it works.
It just a theory with no factual basis in real life . Otherwise it would mean that increased foresrt cover has negative impact on climate and environment too OR decreased forest cover has positives that we should celebrate . Nature doesn't work in a straight line like human thinking .

Just transform bits of the Sahara and other deserts. I just watched other feeds on TH-cam. It doesn’t start by planting trees or massive investments. It starts by sowing grasses and tapping into what lies beneath the surface
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.
That's dust cloud is what we are facing right now.
So ,Nasa can terraform Mars but Sahara is a huge obstacle.Good to know!
Nah terraforming mars is a pipe dream that would take tens thousands of years to do right, we’d be better of building space stations like O’neill cylinders and allowing planets to become nature reserves we’re probably only a few centuries of that kind of tech just need more people to take an interest in industrialising space to get the ball rolling.
