when you write:
” human impact affects the weather. If you turn a place into a desert,”
seems you have grasped the graveness of the impact made by mankind to the earth, (to the painfully. )

I found a picture, in my encyclopedia, of a BOABAB tree, a very huge/thick tree, from Kenya , could be this kind of trees ? -I think.

Here is a link to another evidence of the stupidiy perpetrated by homo (not that) sapient.

The deforestation in Brazil since 1970 amount to amazing 750.000km2 !!! (to compare with, Turkey =780.000km2) in just 39 years!!

My heart is bleeding when I realize the magnitude mankind destruction on the earth.

excerpt:
“”Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece—and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. Why is Brazil losing so much forest? What can be done to slow deforestation?

“the Sahara Desert was once a real paradise of lush vegetation, diverse Animals and Insects as well as the greatest Genetic Variety of Humanoids!”

There was an experiment done by scientists to see if they could heal the Sahara and bring back green life:

“The Idea was to find out if Nature could heal it self if we took the Human factor out as well as grassing from Domestic as well as wild animals!

After 4 Years, a first rainfall came and the area was lush Green again, this vegetation did die off after the draught set in again, yet the trees and bushes remained even though they seemed dead at first glance! As the second rain came 8 Years later, all was green again, this time however one could see the trees and bushes growing and establishing them self again! The draught returned yet the trees and bushes even though dormant survived until the next rain!

The conclusion was that the Sahara could recover by it self if we took the Mammals out of the area for about two centuries!

..However, ” It was a great Idea, yet failed totally due to two mistakes that where made!

One being the introduction of foreign species to the area that ended up killing local vegetation adapted to the Sahel (Sahara) zone, such has the introduction of Eucalyptus Trees from Australia!

Second, was the Human factoring again, the locals started cutting the trees and use them as firewood as they always did! The habits had not changed and now that there was an abundance of trees, again the use of firewood to keep warm in the cold desert nights was more practiced once again due to the available planted wood!

Well needless to say, not much is left of that green wall today!

Even though the rain falls over the Sahel zone have steadily been increasing over the past 4 decades the expansion of the Sahara desert has been faster then ever, not due to lack of rain as some may believe, yet due to an increase in the Human population and of domestic animals overgrazing the area to the point that no tree nor any bush can reestablish it self any longer!”

As Kemosabi was saying,.. something about the human population. Yikes! That is mathematically speaking, exponential – and surely will bring the terrible demise of many.

Thnking in this new way, realizing that almost all of the great deserts on our planet are man-made.. Puts these global warming deniers into the -STUPID- category. Yes, human impact affects the weather. If you turn a place into a desert, the whole eco-system of our planet changes. Hello World “Leaders!” D’oh

It gives me a great/huge idea! of the year…

Excuse me, for my humbleness, but not all used words here, is mine, ’cause now&then I have to turn to the dictionary, for help, to found the right words: e.g. “a scheme that bears the hallmark of genious ” or “kill two birds with one stone”, to a solution of Palestine/Israel /DESERT issues.

For sixty+ years we have had, [and undoubtedly will FOREVER HAVE ] a UNsolved problem in the middle east, IF NOT some kind of new way of thinking is put on the table.

What about:
Aren’t we used to hear the great stories about how, especially the Jews/zionists are able to convert desert into a profitable fertile soil for agriculture. ?

It may seems obvious. Give the desert to the zionist/jews and LEAVE Palestine for Palestinians.!!!

Will not all be happy then ? – even the earth itself..
with a great
MERRY CHRISMAS.

There’s only a transportation problem.

Maybe we could/should direct mother earth into a different trajection, to go explore on adventures of ‘new’ dimensions.?

If we had a carbon tax, those who pollute the most, because of their political clout, would pay the least and the little people like you and me would pay the most. It’s the reality of the world we live in!

Population or more correctly over-population is a real issue for our world. We can’t continue as we are. I’ll apply my mind to it.
