What If the Sahara Desert Suddenly Turned Green?

Terraforming the Sahara Desert would have a good side, and a potential terrible side. In this episode, we'll take a look at what the single biggest challenge would be during this mega project. And whether or not doing this could save or destroy the world.

Next video idea: What if all the human species coexisted.

Is this a video about greening the Sahara or a commercial for a Canadian based cannabis company?

[Crossrock]

We should do it. It was a lush grassland only a few thousand years ago. There are ancient rock carvings that prove that.

[SJWilson]

@WhatifScienceShow Wasn’t the Sahara green 20, 000 years ago? Was the Amazon not around then? Was there less marine life? Why would a green Sahara today have ill effects now when, to my knowledge, it didn’t back then? What am I missing?

[Kayessee]

It was lush and green until about 5k years ago... It used to have lakes and rivers. During the ice age it had hippos, elephants, whales, dolphins, crocodiles, big cats etc.

We can't even terraform the planet we evolved on and people fantasize about terraforming Mars or other planets.

respect from Romania. I have to tell you something. I'm excited for what I see here. I'm really grateful to you. I don't say big words. thanks to you I learned at least more English because it was necessary to know as much as possible of what you say. man, I didn't really go to school, I struggled a lot to pass 12 classes, I didn't read books except 4 or 5 I think, and yet now, without pretending to be smart, I understand English as much as an intellectual person. I managed to see more on this channel and not just look at the video graphics. Thank you for making me stop being lazy and learn more English. I wish you all the best.

Terraforming of Sahara Desert is necessary for solving dual problems of global warming and immigration.

You don’t need to plant so many trees at once. You just start a corridor of planting along the edge of the desert where the greenery naturally ends now and make the corridor 500 metres wide. Plant trees only in that zone and then let nature naturally take over. The trees will self seed as trees normally do and because it’s a slow natural process, there shouldn’t be any disruption to the natural geography or weather patterns or anything. Everything will evolve naturally over time.

Nice idea, cool video, but the best part, Canadian logic, cracks me up every time a Canadian had an idea.

10:15 I don't think 2 billion dollars per year is to much. Thats less than what US gives to Israel every year.

[djthamlas_tbs]

One thing I’ve learned about What if, is that sometimes it’s best to leave things as they are.

[rowdyverboven]

make a playlist with all your video, s and live streams

[andreataylor]

Evey 20000 years it turns green itself because the earth wobbles in its orbit. Google it yourself.

[amateurcrastinator]

It's not the Sahara desert. Sahara means desert. It's just The Sahara. Calling it the Sahara desert is like calling it the desert desert.

[JoungGyi]

This good idea 💡😊👍☺️🐱🙂😃Ευχαριστώ πολύ επαγγελματικό κοτόπουλο βουτύρου για το δείπνο και θα το σκεφτώ ❤❤😊

[mr.patriotjol]

17:00 even if thats the case, you can still make half of the sahara desert and the other half green so that it doesnt affect the ocean + the Amazon Rainforest

Mineral extraction from the brine generated from the desalination can not only recoup the cost but also make it profitable.

[toshkirocks]

Can cloud seeding be an option to get rains and Fresh water instead of sourcing in water?
