- youngtaff 5y agoChallenge with that video is it takes a very industrial approach to green deserts - mono cultures for trees, massive desalination plants to provide water etc Some of the original ideas for greening deserts are permaculture based (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohI6vnWZmk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohI6vnWZmk) which are a way more sustainable approach but won't bring around carbon reduction fast enough.
