Scientists Are Turning SAHARA Green Again Using This GENIUS Idea

Can the Sahara turn green again? The possibility of the Sahara Desert transforming into a green landscape has intrigued scientists and sparked discussions. The Sahara Desert, known for its arid and desert-like conditions, has experienced fluctuations in its climate over geological timescales. In the past, there have been periods when the Sahara had a more humid climate and supported vegetation, known as the "Green Sahara", or Sahara Pluvial Periods, or African Humid Period.

Factors such as changes in Earth's orbit, oceanic and atmospheric circulation, and moisture availability contribute to desert greening. Some studies suggest that human-induced climate change may lead to increased rainfall in the Sahara, potentially promoting vegetation growth. However, the process would be gradual, spanning long timescales. While there is ongoing scientific research and modeling to better understand the dynamics of desert ecosystems and climate change, predicting the future of the Sahara and whether it will turn green again remains uncertain.

Protect the existing forests AND turn the Sahara green!

Please make a series on particle physics ❤

As a Libyan boy I want the Sahara desert to be green again… interested?


I want to be a president when I grow up and I want to do something about this!
Together from East and west, north and south! I am taking notes from you dear creator of this video…
Thank you for the information
Making rivers and pipelines is an amazing idea to make the desert green again same with solar panels and turbines!
Other things as well..

Seriously underrated, give this man exposure

The Sahara went through periods of dry desert and green savanna many times. As stated in this video, the driver of this impressive climate change is changing solar irradiation due to the Milankovich cycles. It may seem paradox, but HIGHER solar insulation is correlated with a green Sahara while lower irradiation turns the Sahara into a desert as we know it today.

Climate models show two interesting things:
1. Global Warming likely will intensify the African monsoon, and hence bring more rain to the Sahel region. So we may see some greening at the rim of today´s desert.
2. Huge solar power plants in the Sahara would make the region darker and hence increase solar energy flow. This could have an effect similar to increased solar irridiation due to Milancovich cycles and create a green Sahara. Wind farms could also influence climate in the Sahara and support the greening.

If you turn the Sahara green again the only thing i would say is RIP Amazon Rainforest

"The Last Hour will not come till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers." Indeed the Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth!

Do You Think Turning the Sahara Green Again Could Actually Be a Bad Idea? 🤔

[Artist-Solus]

This would boost the rate of carbon dioxide reduction, but we must maintain other forests, and other plant life like algea, so we should aid in recovering coral reefs to increase rate of every piece of life underwater including algea

I believe it would be important to make it a priority to raise the water table. Planting huge grids of desert grasses, which are watered by morning dew, would help raise the water table as they are hardy and have extensively long roots, which could eventually compost the sand. Trees could be planted within the protective grass walls. Trees will bring rain, as well as grasses, through evapotranspiration, and also raise the water table.

What would it do to South America?

And what would be Done with the brine? Could it be use part for sodium ion battery and the other Part to make Saltblocks for I don't know build Material?

How about the increased albedo if you install solar panels? How are you going to deal with the supplementary heat absorbed by the sun?!

Turn some of it green... like put in each desert country a singular giant 300-mile circumference round forest in the middle of each of the following Libya, Chad, Algeria, Egypt, Western Sahara, Niger, Mauritania). In the middle, of each 300 mile circumference forest have a 50-mile circumference lake and constantly pipe in water from the Atlantic, or Red Sea, or Mediterranean. On the outskirts of the forest, have solar panels to collect energy and use it to desalinize the water. Fill and maintain the central lake with fresh water.
Use large flying Artificial Intelligent robot drones powered by solar panels to daily fill up with water in the lake and drop it all throughout the forest to keep it wet. Station them at different points around the central lcircular lake so they can each have a certain part of the forrest to water. Also, drop a large variety of seeds of wild and local native trees and flora to maintain growth. The rest of the country could have agricultural spots dot the desert where water can be piped in for food production but let the rest remain mostly desert to not disrupt the ecology too much and find a balance. This way, every country in the Sahara would have a huge forest in the center of the country for recreation and beauty and wild animal refuge and then also agriculture in areas outside the forest zones as well as the natural desert throughout the rest of the country.
edit: perhaps have concentric lakes throughout the 300 mile circumference forrest so that the drones can water a more local area without haveing to go far to fill up their water tanks

Considering that plants consume CO2 this idea might be a good way to combat climate change. Maybe we could use salt tolerant plants rather than desalination? At least at first, as desalination is both expensive and energy intensive.

[halnelson]

We should at first generalise and supporting the desert vegetation and plant mediterranean species around water places

[tlst]

Terraform all deserts around the planet. Including Western-USA, parts of Michigan, China's Gobi Desert, Australia, and Japan's Tottori prefecture.

[OuldNaïl]

The Arabian Sahara to the Atlantic Ocean have the same future

[huntedsnake]

But first we should find another desert for camels and other animals who live in Sahara but forests are good so maybe its a good idea to turn Sahara green. We should also protect the ice caps and the amazon rainforest.

[przemysawpawlinski]

They want another Sahara desert in South America. Cause greening Sahara will do that. There will be another Sahara.

[Qeswara]

Yes, I would like to turn deserts into forests.
