The thing about this one is it's historical precedence. Here in Arizona you can find areas where the Native Americans were geoforming the terrain, simply by digging shallow depressions roughly perpendicular to the path water would take. And these weren't always a few inches deep, spaced every few feet. These are features only noticable by the air. Distinct green stripes in the desert, features we are replicating by accident with all the roads, and especially the canals, that criss cross the desert. It works by slowing down the run off from the intense, but very short lived, desert thunderstorms just enough to percolate down through the dry, cracked topsoil. Much of the rainfall we see in the desert does just that, flow right over where it's needed and on down the dry creek beds. This technique, over generations, not years or even decades, but with enough time it theoretically could shift weather patterns. The problem is often to get more rain in one area it will rain less in another. Granted, the native Americans weren't trying to turn the entire untied states green. I don't want to think of the chaos that would ensue if parts of SE Asia dry up while N Africa and the Middle East turn lush green.

An interesting thought is that if a tree won't survive perhaps another plant might. The American Southwest is home to a wide variety of desert plants not found in Africa. Not all of them would be a good fit but it might be worth having an ecologist look at them. A tree won't work so how about a barrel cactus? That won't work either? What about a desert shrub or hardy grass that can hold the dunes in place while soil quality builds up? Quality too low for American desert plants? What about Australian ones?

The Earth has been ' Warming " since the last Ice Age just a scant 12k years ago.

What if they have another natural arid disaster like they did in 1914 and the whole area goes into another year long drought? I suggested many decades ago, to pump the ocean water into the middle of the desert, this way, we will lower the oceans, and the water will evaporate and create the needed rain clouds to rehydrate the surrounding area.

I watch most of your channels and this is the first time I've seen your injury. BB will be so weird with you in a sling. Am I right, Peter!!

This project has started a few decades ago, I think 27 yrs ago. Only 4 percent has been performed so far as of today.

really dig the scope of this show. on the one side we got a someone tellin' everyone who's not on a tree by the count of three "mate, you won't believe how fucking big my boat is" and on the other hand we got countries trying to fight a bloody desert. That's a spectrum and a half and I'm down.

We could certainly use more proactive ideas/projects for this problem.

What this project needs is a Great Green Aqueduct network to supply freshwater either from regions with greater rainfalls or desalination plants on the coast.

First of all, HUGE fan. I sub to all of your channels. I really appreciate how you put both metric and "freedom unit" measurements in the videos. I have, however, noticed that there is one you always seem to miss. Most Americans have NO idea what a hectare is. If you could please see your way to also including the measurement in acres, it would be a welcome addition. Thanks.

They’re… trying to… stop the natural advance of the largest desert in the world? That’s an epic level of hubris.

The great green wall is an excellent idea! Dessertification in arid regions and the risk of water insecurity is the far most pressing environmental issue today. But I have my concerns about management of such project. The UN and the EU have history of great projects that didn't fulfill the expectations. Such a large-scale project involving emany countries needs a very strict project management, exact chain of command with very strictly defined obligations and responsibilities of each body. It needs to be based on science and research , on-job learning and negative feedback. Involve local people in management and have them motivated by project results. Otherwise we may and up with lot of dead trees and billions wasted. Sending money to Africa is not the same as helping Africa. I wish them good luck👍👍
