In the space of 20 years, China transformed an encroaching desert by building up a green wall that has managed to become green and lush with time and effort.
I don’t mean to say that humans can turn around all that we’ve sown, but I do mean to stress that all the green wildlife will most likely be fine, and a few of us might be okay too
The big problem we have is there’s certain carbon stores that are likely to initiate a runaway greenhouse effect if we reach the tipping point that starts to release the like the Arctic tundra.
The honest assessment is that we’re in the early stages of another mass extinction event, the discussion is whether it’ll be a Permian-end level mass extinction (95% of extant species) or Devonian-end level extinction (75% of extant species).
I’ve been looking into the area in google maps, and unfortunately for me, as i don’t have a way to compare the before and after, it looks like the success is minimal.
The world won’t end…humankind’s ability to successfully live off it will do.
A million years is pretty much unimaginable to a person, it’s nothing to the earth.

Where can i know more about that green wall? Do you know where is it located?
its on the edge of the Ghobi desert

Thanks!

I’m hopefully that the improvement continues.
