Oddbean new post about login | logout Why are we (as a human race) not planting a shitload of trees in deserts? So much land. Trees would literally heal the entire area, making it 100% liveable. I should run the world. I’d make it better. Guaranteed. I’d also kill my enemies so just don’t become an enemy. Simple.
How do I vote for you?
But if you planted trees in deserts it wouldn’t be a desert anymore and that would be sad and racist.
There is a movement out here in my desert along the lines of managing water through earthen structures and geography to allow the rainfall to be sufficient to sustain agriculture. AR15ONA deserts get a decent amount of rain, but unfortunately via occasional deluge rather than small amounts regularly.
