do yall think humanity should convert all the earths deserts into rain forests,jungles and rivers.?

Question

by doing this it could help restore the ozone layer and bring back all the forest and jungles that are cut down every year it could also save countless animal and plant species from extinction.

Answer 1

What about the countless desert life that would be destroyed and extinct because of this?

Answer 2

Ah good question.

It was once that way. In the Jurassic Period, the earth was much warmer and wetter. No polar ice, and the intercontinental seas kept things pretty constant temperature and wet.

In the last 2 million years, the world has become colder (Ice Ages) and drier. Life always has difficulty adapting to climate change. We are undergoing another one. Due to increase in greenhouse gases, the world is getting warmer. The sea levels will rise. The Sahara might become lush again. But many of the species you know will go extinct.

By the way, the plants have little to do with the ozone layer. Ozone is mostly created by lightning storms. Man-made chlorinated fluorocarbons used in air conditioners and other man-made chemicals are the culprit in the destruction of the ozone layer. But what is endangering life as we know it is greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide and methane gas).

Answer 3

Rain Forests and Jungles require lots of rain. A desert has very low rainfall. Without rain or water, there are no rivers.

Even if you could convert a tiny piece of desert (1000 square miles), and animals were placed there to live, there wouldn't be enough people in the world to help maintain it.

Answer 4

I would like to hear of a plan to convert desert areas to rainforests. Desert areas are quite scorching, have little rain, and often get cold at night and/or during certain seasons. Most desert areas wouldn't be capable of supporting a rainforest or the animals that live in it - unless humans could somehow emulate a perfect environment 24/7 - which we can't.

Answer 5

Nature intended for climates to change and shift. One day, not in our lifetimes, all desserts will once again be full with life. Take New Jersey for example. In it's life, NJ has been a stifling dessert, a rain forrest, an underwater haven for sharks (used to be a shallow sea), and even a frozen Tundra.

Al Gore is right about global warming. However he is wrong that we are killing the planet. Because of our actions the planet is killing us, living things, in order to repair itself. We can stop global warming, but the damage has already been done. If we let it continue, one day our beautiful blue planet will become red with radiation, an identical to Mars.

Also, it is impossible for us to force a climate change. Even theoretically, it's impossible. It would involve in changing the East Atlantic Current, Gulf Stream, Jet Stream, and severely altering the Earth's axis. You can't just pump water and plant trees in the middle of a dessert expecting an oversized oasis. And channeling a river to flow into a dessert to create life will not only cost billions but alter our environment and history for the worse.

Answer 6

Several problems with this idea:

It would take a huge amount of energy to build canals, pipelines, etc. to divert water to those areas.

The desert flora and fauna would be destroyed.

The influence on the weather system is unpredictable.

Change on this scale would take thousands of years.

Answer 7

The trees and plants can't survive in a desert climate.

Answer 8

Your question is honestly-won. i'm getting that evangelical Christian solutions are actually not prevalent right here, regardless of if it rather is obtrusive that what you're asking demands such. "Hell in the international" isn't achieveable, yet I understand the desire to trivialize Hell. it rather is not "we" who're dividing humanity into misplaced and saved. that's as organic a branch as earth and sky. The branch exists by using transformations in constituency--air and earth have distinctive residences. The "saved" are people who're "in Christ", biblically (2 Cor. 5:17). previous passing away, all issues made new... there's a constituent distinction. in the experience that your factor is that Christians shouldn't manage people who do not know Christ with contempt, indifference, or in the different damaging way, I agree. Our humanity would not make us distinctive and God's grace is obtainable to those that repent and have faith on Christ. No Christian is "extra suited" or "above" every person else. I additionally agree that people who're not "saved" shouldn't pointlessly bash Christians. Neither ought to seem to the worst occasion of the different to come across definitions. in case you helped me to alter my tire interior the rain, i could be grateful. it would not happen to me which you weren't properly worth my thankfulness in case you weren't a Christian. If somebody who isn't a Christian replaced into assisted with the aid of Christian, truthfully they might not think of that the provider of the Christian replaced into valueless. This talk board makes it not hardship-free for us to serve one yet another; extra durable yet to illustrate theory with the aid of working them out as James' epistle demands. you have an excellent suited to be dealt with with the aid of a Christian as they could manage yet another Christian--and extra suited. interior the top, the branch of misplaced and saved is self-imposed and a remember of non secular nature in accordance to the Bible.

Answer 9

What would become of the desert biomes?

Answer 10

The question is moot since it is not in our power to do this.
