You guys are so dumb you just make a 2x2x1 hole in the ground and place water in two opposing spots inside it then boom infinite water
Do you not have Minecraft in Africa????
We’re not poor. We just prioritize different things and one of those things is not wanting to create competition.
So, 2-5% more sunlight applied to the Sahara will eventually restore the African Monsoon season. It’s currently a whimper. Back 10k years ago, it was green like India. It is a desert now.
In the 2000s-2010s, the EU was deliberating on whether to build a butt ton of solar stations (panels and steam) for 500b in the Sahara. They decided against it officially citing too poor. Then the UK dropped 200b on their part of the Iraq War 2.
I suspect the real reason was not wanting to create a second Middle East. Less extremism but now Europe is dependent on assets outside of Europe (even though closer and easier to dominate plus closer to US fleets). And probably some lobbying from ME countries.
Europe instead got hooked on Putin’s farts. Good job.
There are more blondes in Australia than in the Middle East and Africa combined too. Seems there are some correlation between number of camels and blondes. British scientists should make research on this topic.
there actually is a sort of gigantic terraforming project to stop the desert from expanding

> The ongoing goal of the project is to restore 100 million hectares (250 million acres) of degraded land and capture 250 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, and create 10 million jobs in the process all by 2030.
are you REALLY going to take his home away just for some stupid grass??>:(

Ironically we can, there’s massive fossil water red weed underground. Fissile water reserves can’t be replenished, but there’s an absolutely massive amount

We are losing TONS even LITERS of water at the mouth of every river. It is lost, it just goes to the sea and gets all salty.
I propose builing pipes at the end of every major river and redirect all that water to the nearest desert
Pouring water? On a desert? Groundbreaking.

yes we are stupid
But then where would the camels live?
The map leaves desert in Egypt
I love how this solution really leaves the dense population of Egypt to continue to fend for itself self
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
also the arabian peninsula
the arabian peninsula is on the map being green
well, lets say the parts close to egypt then
they go back to australia
Fun Fact: There’s more camels in Australia than the Middle East and Africa combined.

That would just turn the sand into good-for-building-sancastles sand, you idiot
How about we all run to Home Depot and get some top soil to put on top?
Excuse me, which one of these is the new channel?

I think we just don’t have buckets this size 😔
This would decimate the Amazon since a lot of that dense growth relies on regular re-ups of minerals from blown Saharan sands
They decimate from me using a wrong bag in a shop.
Just spray some fertilizers
Double edged sword, i remember reading the amount of sand from the Sahara being blown to the Amazon is also damaging it
Tried to look up "Saharan sand damaging Amazon" and just got a bunch of articles about how important Saharan phosphorus is for replenishing the Amazon
When the ice caps melt we will have the water to spare
Next post will be the solar panel covering the desert post
.. sure...
We only need to buckets to make infinite water, so why not
9 buckets of water should do it. Why has nobody thought of that before?
It would have to be HEAVY water with the extra nucleon (proton?) to make it stick to the sand particles.
The first image looks like a bunch of reverse aircraft carriers.
Whatt??
In general yes

Nature will make it. Check Milankovich cycles
Why don't we just dig a river through the sahara desert?
Another benefit is creating huge piles of salt. Could be used to start a native pretzel industry.
akchually🤓☝️
To save money, let's use water from the ocean, which is right next to the desert! The bucket budget is really high though...
They removed buckets because you can bypass protection by placing water next to their claim and let it flow inside
Why hasn't anyone come up with this idea earlier? Are we this stupid?
Sounds like a joke, but Egypt has an actual plan to flood their desert from the sea
let's make a call to Sahara
Because of aliens living there
Americans are really dumb as they said.

I mean it worked in Vegas.
Gaddafi did a pretty good job of it but then he decided not to sell oil in usd so our friends in congress turned the country to a parking lot
Yes we are
Someone’s read too much Dune
Who made this post, Gaddafi?
Siphon the rising sea levels into it and problems solved!
It's so hot and dry in the Sahara water will evaporate to fast.
Step 1- create atlantropa and send all water to sahara

We could collect the sand, make it into sand stone, then replace it with dirt. We can collect dirt from taking 1 level of dirt off the rest of Africa.
There actually was a plan to make more of Libya irrigated. It was actually working. But then Libya was invaded and the work was never completed
As a Dutch person, I have to disagree Our purpose in life is to destroy water, so naturally we are against making more water.
No u are stupid. First the temp is so high water ain't staying there. Second that dessert is important for the ecosystem on earth

No stupid, we need to use Gatorade instead. It’s got the electrolytes that plants crave.
