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

Does anybody know what happened to the plan to recreate the inland sea in the Libyan Sahara with water channelled into it via the Mediterranean? Money I suppose. If I remember rightly technically there were no great problems and the depression where the "sea" would form is practically devoid of inhabitants. Surely restoring this ancient sea would "dampen" potential sand drifting and storms plus re-kick starting vegetation over a vast area. I think the climatologists had a lot of negative things to say about the plan. Without getting the maps out rising sea levels will probably re flood the area anyway sooner or later.
