Eleven countries are planting a wall of trees from east to west across Africa, just under the southern edge of the Sahara desert.
The goal is to fight the effects of climate change by reversing desertification.

This was eye-opening.
It‘s invredible how cheap it could be to sucessfully fight climate change!
Nice video btw
Can you link your sources?
Getting protein from animal products is the most land and water intensive. savory is a load of crap. Eat plants, leave the grazed land alone and it will recover itself. It’s cheaper to not do anything and eat veggies.
Buddy, south India founds worlds oldest civilization and the city in Tamilnadu.
What if people dig trench from coast to middle to guide ocean water in like vessels ? This should cost less than planning trees. Plus the ocean level is rising anyway
Africa may be doing illegal poachng and hunting, but at least it's making it up by doing stuff like this.

There is no way 12% of Mongolia = x2 Texas

If shade retains moisture among other things why haven't trees and plants been specially selected to grow in the harsh desert by slowly creeping it in? Using plants that need very little water would seem logical.
congrats on hitting the front page on reddit, quite sad that they wont like the actual video but only upvote the repost on that platform
Interesting though a little too dilute. Wanted to hear more about the Green Wall of Africa and fewer generalities and waffle. Surely there must be some Google images of the Green Wall? And ground-level photos?
Also, little detail of the organisations are involved in the project, who’s doing the coordinating, and where the cash is coming from. So, the trees being planted are mainly acacia. So why not show some proper photos of them? So many unanswered questions…
Or you could, you know, stop reproducing like rabbits. Exponential human population growth is the No.1 cause of global warming. This surprisingly honest CNN report explains.

"By 2050, the share of the world population living in the currently less developed regions will have risen to 90 per cent ." https://web.archive.org/web/20181117113702/http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/sixbillion/sixbilpart1.pdf
There are limits to growth, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
"Some 1,700 of the world's leading scientists, including the majority of Nobel laureates in the sciences, issued this appeal in November 1992." Under the heading Population:
"The earth is finite. Its ability to absorb wastes and destructive effluent is finite. Its ability to provide food and energy is finite. Its ability to provide for growing numbers of people is finite. And we are fast approaching many of the earth's limits.".

Wow this was amazing !
nope. what an incredible blunder of ill logic. water is still needed. climate is cyclical. carbon dioxide is plant food. the more carbon dioxide in the air the stronger and more resiliant plants become. this is a waste of money, ultimately stealing from those not even born yet because all money is borrowed money and the interest is not put into circulation. but you can watch and feel better, and comment because that really accomplishes something. instead of doing your own research. deserts have been greening because foosil fuels store CO2, released when burned, plants use it. but these tree planters will say planting trees is what's greening the already greening deserts, and higher elevations too.
