Absolute madness. Do you realize how much of humanity, and the biomes we rely on, are dependent on the Amazon? And even it were a good idea on balance we have no idea of the ripple effects and externalities. How about we just focus on stopping the changes we’re already causing and get to an equilibrium state with our planet first?
- atrus 3y agoDon't worry, we'll cut down enough of the Amazon that it'll collapse, long, long before we green the Sahara enough to hurt the rainforest :)
- gaiagraphia 3y ago>stopping the changes we’re already causing That ship sailed when the industrial revolution started. We - as a planet - industrialised, and the cost is a change in climate. Billions of people are catching up with what Europe kickstarted, and nothing's going to change that. The equilibrium is going to be thinking about how the future world may look, and adapting our terrain and lifestyles to match it. The Sahara is the perfect test bed for this.

Not exactly activities caused by industrialisation.
