Building salt lakes to African deserts when? Lowers sea levels and increases rains and lowers temperatures

How does this lower sea levels, increase rain and lower temperatures? Seems it would only lower the sea level by as much volume of dirt you removed to make the lake, which will be not a lot in global terms. Rain may increase some, but in a proper desert your lake won't make much difference.

For several hundred thousand years, the Sahara has alternated between desert and savanna grassland in a 41,000 year cycle caused by changes ("precession") in the Earth's axis as it rotates around the sun, which change the location of the North African Monsoon. It is next expected to become green in about 15,000 years (17,000 AD).

>needs nukes in order to dig a canal from the sea to the inland (nukes will never be used for that because geopolitics)
>needs huge amounts of energy to lift water in case of not using canals
>incredible amounts of salt and minerals will accumulate under those lakes, eventually pushing the lake boundaries sideways
>salt water will permeate into the aquifer, ruining it for eternity and affecting huge areas. agriculture will be impossible
>it is uncertain if the rains resulting from those lakes will even fall in the countries of those lakes, making them a waste of space and environment for those countries
It would be much more convenient, cheaper, and easier to use solar energy to desalinate sea water.

yeah but I want it green now

nothing you quoted supports your retarded claim and you are brain-damaged if you think such a thing is even possible.

Yeah it seems really implausible that any pre-industrial society could cause that level of environmental depletion.

What did they do, rake the continent to death?

Well then buy a shitload of green spray paint and a plane.

They grew plants which sucked up water and nutrients from the soil and didn't properly return said water and nutrients while simultaneously treating the soil in a way that killed the microbiome.

Shit ain't complicated. Apparently it's a thing happening around the world. Unironically ask any soil scientist, pretty much all of them will tell you that we're going to do much the same thing on a global scale soon and as it is most of our previously fertile soil is super dead and relies mass quantities of fertilizer to produce crops. I talked to a soil scientist recently that said sometime within the next one hundred years we were probably going to have a massive crisis becuase we won't be able to grow food effectively anymore.

Even if we filled in all of the areas below sea it wouldn't do that much volume wise. It could be done, just dig a channel or pipeline at a downward slop from the ocean to the area.

Romans knew how to do this, but sadly it is now a lost technology.

Any sort of irrigation leads to salt building up in the land. Overtime this can and does lead to once arable locations becoming inhospitable to farming. This is one of the reasons many areas of early farming are no longer tillable.

since we are at it...
I wonder, how come we don't already use solar energy to desalinate AND transport water?

He is brain damaged. The area highlighted as a Roman Province at the top of that article still has forests. And the Sahara desert has been largely a desert for dozens of thousands of years.

>Build a series of damns along the downward sloping channel between the ocean and the new inland lake.
>Hydro electric damns topped with solar panels power the desalination plants.
>The water is desalinated as it travels down the channel.
>By the time it reaches the lake it has become regular fresh water.

You know Europe was once covered in dense forest, but by the high medieval ages more than half of it had been cut down? A large number people over centuries can do a lot of damage even without industrialization.

>It's suitable for vegetation therefore it's suitable for farming!

Holy fucking shit you city slickers are so brain dead. The whole reason trees are hard is so they can lock in the moisture. New england has tons of forest and yet is shit for farming due to the poor rocky soil. Just because something isn't a barren desert doesn't mean you can sustain a farm on it.

You have literally millions of unemployed sods there. Just give em a shovel.

>HURRR IT TURNED INTO A DESERT BECAUSE OF FARMING
>no it didn't you fucking mongoloid it's still large swaths of forest
>HURR I DUDNT MENTION NO FOREST

kys faggot

This is also why responsible farmers alternate between crops for humans and clover, weed, grass for animals because it returns the balance to the ground. Least here also the government sometimes forces certain amount of land to not be farmed to keep up the balance and pay for the lost revenue.

Desalination, even with modern techniques, is quite energy intensive, so it was always cheaper to move near a source of fresh water than to try to bend the oceans to your will. I've read some new improvements in osmosis techniques but I'm not sure if they're real or a marketing scam.

Supposedly, the Chinks have developed a strain of rice that will grow in salt water.This could, unfortunately, lead to starving niggers getting food and this would undoubtedly add to more pollution. It's a vicious circle, user.

When china figures out how to do it. Seriously china is investing tons into taking over africa for shit just like this

nice, I hadn't thought of it that way

sure, but we could use large areas to compensate for the energy needed.
hell, we could desalinate water right in the oceans. I've thought about having some sort of large dome-like devices with black surfaces and water tanks floating in the oceans, where you throw salty ocean water from time to time, let it condensate and somwhow store the fresh water in the tanks. then clean the surface, take that salt and ship it + the fresh water for consumption.

This is general knowledge, right? I learned this in primary school...

Imagine a patch of land that is already below sea level, and surrounded by higher land.

Read about the Qattara Depression.

By Camel

Deserts are surprisingly sacred to some people who technically own them. It's so annoying because deserts are completely useless and we need to use them for SOMETHING. I wish the abos wouldn't be so adverse about nuclear waste.

They're basically jews but smellier.

go get a bucket

>solar
>desal
you're a fucking idiot
Nuclear desal may work tho.

Wouldn’t it turn into a Dead Sea hypersaline first and a salt flat later on?

Build a canal, that way you can control the flow of water.

Barley is salt tolerant too.

Control the flow to the evaporation ponds?
No way that stuff won’t produce million tons of salt a year.

>increase rains

how? only if you have a big enough water mass that can outbleed the high vectors that you find typically on a desert
which you know the sea lake needs to be enormous to even think to have a small effect..

> lowers temperatures.
no it doesnt if the high vector remains on the area the water will continue to evaporate quicker because its confined piece of water and it will result to even bigger temps around the rea..

>And the Sahara desert has been largely a desert for dozens of thousands of years
more like 3 to 5 million years

>investing in africa for 0 return financially

>>And the Sahara desert has been largely a desert for dozens of thousands of years
>more like 3 to 5 million years
No it hasnt, all deserts in the world are man made. South and Central America had huge populations of native people that over farmed, its very well documented the damage that they did by farming. The Abos of Australia devastated the land by burning everything because it gets cold at night down there and they didnt have the means to make warm clothing. All of Saudi Arabia was very fertile land going back 2000 years ago. You can see by satellite there are geographical remnants of lakes and cities. All of the Sahara was fertile and was settled by the Carthaginians and later the Moors and Berbers.

Africa is like an fire ant hill but there's a fucktonne of diamonds and other useful minerals/elements under the fire ant hill but the fire ants have rights

niggers would first steal all the salt and then shit into the water

> a big enough water mass that can outbleed the high vectors that you find typically on a desert

You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

no user do enlight us why no one has built a man made lake on a desert without any way to cool it down fast enough

Saltwater will begin to leach into existing groundwater, polluting the only existing clean water source for the populations in the inland areas.
