Re: Reclaiming Africa's deserts using.... bacteria?

Pfffft, except for the little detail that WE created the vast majority of these deserts through the activities you mention.

I of course am all for the protection of biodiversity, and that in many instances means protecting the integrity of the ecosystem that biodiversity lives in. Show me where I said we'd convert ALL the desert into 'Geothermia' and you might have a case. But I for one am convinced there is stacks of damage we HAVE done to the planet that this can help undo, and stacks of damage that we ARE STILL doing (burning coal) that this 'solar city' can undo.

The planet as a whole is still losing far too many trees each year, far more than a replaced by farming. That trend MUST be reversed!
