Sahara Desert Supposition for the Global Environment

We are sure that anyone in the world would appreciate that any, busy person; prominent world figure or somebody who has hope for the future, would not necessarily have time to read unsolicited junk mail, URL's or obscure web site projects. However, such is the potential significance of the project below, we believe it warrants scrutiny from office high and low. A reasonable perusal will take up only 0.000099 % of your life. We would hope that we receive a reply from some suitable station, or a comment maybe from you. We are just a small concerned group. This is not an academic piece; it does not wish to preach, just inform; pointing out as to what could be possible.

The Proposal

May we respectively suggest that the "World Governments" obtain funds to purchase a large amount of Desert to ecologically manage it for the benefit of the whole planet? The idea is to take this area,  and through Terraforming, turn it into a new State, a new Country; new lungs; one that is made up of a vast new Rainforest and a vast new Ocean of Fresh Water. To bring new hope to Africa.

"Sahara"  is an old Sanskrit word - Sagara -   meaning Ocean.

  The Sahara Supposition - Terraforming the Sahara

This piece has been rewritten many times. There was a time when we were proud to be getting 1,000 visitors each week. Now we see 5,000 a day, making this Website one of the most popular on the planet. We our now a general information Data Base. Or presence generates up to one million US dollars a year, though we see only a small fraction of that.

This total site covers a multitude of topics and subjects. When it started over FIVE years ago, this page was its only Webpage. The Sahara Supposition is a thing that we suppose could happen and is perhaps one of the most important pages any person living on planet Earth could actually read. 

In our first year we achieved 10,000 hits, in the second year 40,000 people clicked on board to read something that we had written. In our third year, we received 150,000 hits and nearly 400,000 pages were read. 

Today we regularly get over 5,000 hits in a day and achieved ONE MILLION HITS on the 9th March 2005. Two million on 25th November 2005.

This Webpage, is about Terraforming the Sahara Desert, to reclaim  it  for  the benefit of  the  Planet Earth, to produce a new Rainforest and an Ocean of fresh water and a new wealth for Africa. To make new homes for the species that decline everyday.

Soon we will achieve, during 2006, over 2,000,000 visitors every year; this will take us to around the 50,000th most popular Website on the Internet. Out of nearly TEN BILLION, that is not bad. 

On a sad note, this Webpage, that endeavors to Save the World, will be visited by only 10,000 visitors, out of those two million.

Read this and weep. Over the last few months we have come to a frightening conclusion.

If you click onto the banner-link above, it will take you to this page - the Sahara Supposition Page. The Sahara Supposition started life around 1995 as several things, but mainly a scheme to Terraform the Sahara Desert; read the webpage for yourself, but read this first.

  The Sahara Supposition   

In 2051, the world's global environment will start to change without fear of God or Man. The crux of it is that by around 2080, due to Global Warming, melting ice-caps and fresh water bringing the Gulf Stream to a standstill, our Northern Hemisphere, will be thrust into the biggest Ice-Age for 20,000 years. Millions of people who live in the North of our planet, that is, Northern USA, Canada, Northern Europe, will be killed, or made homeless at best.

Today, the people of Africa, our biggest continent, are dying in numbers that are unbelievable, through Starvation, AIDS, Malaria, many other diseases, dirty water, wars, homicide, TB and genocide.

The So-called civilized world bangs many drums to try to prove that it is helping to change this Extinction Level Event, but it is all a farce.

Let us imagine, if we can, how poignant it would be, if say in one million years time, some advanced alien culture was to visit this third rock from the Sun. Simply to explore a most insignificant solar system to find that there was scarcely, any actual evidence that the primitive human animal had ever existed.

Live 8, may have raised great awareness and $200 million. But this is nothing in the scheme of monetarism. War engulfs more every second.

In 1972, the USA declared that it was spending $24 million each and every hour on the Vietnam War. What is that in today's money? A Live 8 concert every hour; 8,760 every year, for how many years?

In less than a century, many millions of people who live in our Northern Hemisphere, will need somewhere to live, they will have, Africa.

Parts of the USA, most of the UK and Europe will be covered in ice that could be a kilometre thick.

Great cities like Chicago, New York, London, Moscow, will be gone, sealed in some frozen stasis for maybe another century or millennium. Sadly this will make recent Hurricane strikes look like a breeze.

By then most native Africans will be dead and for the first time in Earth's history, Africa will be a continent dominated by white races.

Just a few miles south of England there is a very small island called the Isle of Wight. It is said that the whole population of the Earth could stand on this island at the same time.

Using England's Population Density, well over 50 Billion People could live in Africa, and no doubt one day they will, and they will be mostly white.

TERRAFORM DESERT PROJECT.  This Web-Page  is  about  transforming the Global Environment by changing / developing / terraforming the  Great Sahara  Desert  with  a    $200 - 300 Billion ecology / construction Supposition. It asks whether it could  actually be terraformed and made into something most valuable for this planet Earth. However, it may not be just valuable, it may be imperative for all water-drinking, air-breathing creatures on this planet and not least of course, for the continent of Africa. 

    It contains around  100  photographs of the desert.      

Dr. Robert Watson, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in 2001.

" The overwhelming majority of scientific experts, whilst recognizing that scientific uncertainties exist, nonetheless believe that human-induced climate change is already occurring and that future change is inevitable.

The New Noah's Ark

Stating that the proposal in the Sahara Supposition is akin to a New Noah's Ark goes to the very root of its implications and ambitions.  Today, Rainforests and Oceans are either being destroyed at an inconceivable rate or are being polluted on a scale that in point of fact increases every day. The Sahara Supposition wishes to reclaim relatively an otherwise unused area through terraforming that will replace only a small part of the Natural World that has been destroyed in the Global Environment in the last 30 years, by Humankind. It would want to take to this area, as many species of foliage as necessary, and replant them, and nurture them in an area that will be free from human destruction. 

Two by Two   -  Helping the Global Environment

It would also want to take as many congenial animal species as possible and relocate them to an area where Humankind will not be part of the equation in their future obliteration. It will create a safe haven for the Natural World forever. Its part in the aid to Africa will be to also create custom built cities on its periphery that are super energy efficient; models for the rest of the world to follow. It would create New Age industries for a New Africa to at last, develop in a way that many have hoped it would, for the last hundred years.  

Often it takes just a few simple resources for impoverished people to be able to grow enough food to become self-sufficient. These resources include quality seeds, appropriate tools and access to water. Small improvements in farming techniques and food storage methods are also helpful. Oxfam

GENEVA, Switzerland, December 18, 2001 (ENS) - The year 2001 was projected to be the second warmest on record, the World Meteorological Organization said today. Record floods and record droughts across the globe accompanied this year's high temperatures.

The futility of waste. Deserts are basically wastelands; most were once green and  flourishing.    All deserts grow a bit more each year. In theory, they may one day take over the whole planet, that is if other catastrophes do not beat them to it.

R U a Hero or a Taker?   Global Warming

Such is this situation, that persons trying to stop, what could soon force an insurrection by our planet, and one that might put an end to the human environment, are being murdered; perhaps a thousand in the last 20 years. They were the people, heroes even, that did not just sit and worry, they endeavored to change our fate and died for their actions. Therefore, it is no real new news to anyone that something significant needs to be achieved, to alter the course of Natural World history. 

That is why this site has been written; to ask if you are a

 Hero or a Taker?

Will Humankind really be wiped out before the end of the next century? Will The World Wildlife Fund be right?

This is how the TAKERS treat our planet. One dumped car is nothing.     In the scheme of things it does not matter, but if all the millions of cars that are scrapped each year ended up like this where would we be? The irony is that this vehicle is so old it is probably worth ten times more than when it was abandoned.

Famine and wars cause just 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition.

A Notion

We write today with a notion, that we have had for many years. It is about the reclamation of a slice of land the size of the USA; a new development that could change the world and the world's climate; a new system that could also be used around the whole Globe, turning waste into green. If you think deeply about it, it is perhaps the most sobering article web-page you will ever read,   However it will only be a matter of  time that will uncover and prove this fact; it may well be over 75 years before its significance about climate change, re-desertification, rainforest destruction and pollution is believed. 

Let us imagine, if we can, that if we continue as we are at present destroying the Natural World, how poignant it would be, if say in one million years time, some advanced alien culture was to visit this third rock from the Sun. Simply to explore a most insignificant solar system to find that there was scarcely, any actual evidence that the primitive human animal had ever existed.

It is our fervent belief that there is a momentous opportunity for the people of this world to change this future episode by developing an area of land larger than Australia. Its greatest strategy is to avoid the looming:

Extinction   Level   Event.  

This project has taken into account: Climate Change, Terraforming, Global Warming, Human Sanitation, Fresh Water, Disease, Pollution, the reduction of Poverty, Terrorism and the creation of new drugs. Nevertheless, they take no preference over what could be seen as a lesser objective.  Moreover, relatively speaking, this huge project will cost nothing

Zero Cost .

Whilst we try to be politically neutral and stay on the side of reasonableness, we must comment thus: 

Zero Cost . So very much less than the exponential cost of the 9-11 atrocity. This Terraform project, that may save the planet, will cost pennies in comparison to what will be consumed as a result of a group of alleged intelligent human beings, who thought that it was a positive act for humanity to destroy the New York World Trade Center, on September 11th 2001.  Thought it was also a positive act for this whole planet, to destroy the thousands of innocent occupants who worked in the World Trade Center; there just to make a living. 

On the  September 11th 2001, this site commented that the financial ramifications of this atrocity would exceed over $1,000,000,000,000. Many scoffed but by the  September 11th 2011, this will be true.

***************************************

The UK Lottery Organizers, Camelot have worked out that from the year 2000 to 2100 the British  public will  spend up to £530,000 Billion, ( Nearly $800,000 Billion), on the UK National Lottery.

How far down the road to the eventual complete annihilation of humanity will we be, by then? But then how ironic it would be, how different would it have been, if those alleged intelligent people had read this site and then decided to push their efforts and energy into a more positive step for their continent and planet?

 

To Produce New Ingredients for New Life.

This proposal to terraform the Sahara, of course on first reading sounds utterly absurd and laughable and how any federation could actually achieve it, is just as ridiculous. Nevertheless, please allow us to continue. You will soon witness that it is an engineering project equal to say ten times anything, which has ever been accomplished before. However, you must balance this with the present   " engineering project "    by which the world’s citizens and its industry produce, by the thousands of tons, obnoxious toxic and poisonous gases and waste every year, and pour them into the global environment. 

This ridiculous project, the Sahara Supposition, even though it is seemingly so huge, is infinitesimal in comparison.  Nevertheless, how would or could it be done? Whatever!  It will be completed one day, or we will feel the wrath of Mother Nature. It is just a disgrace that it is of a need in the first place because we are stopping Nature from working; stopping Nature following a natural course. 

Photosynthesis

Consider also from where we get all oxygen and proteins. The destruction of the oxygen / protein giving vegetation on our planet, is non-stop; a suicidal occurrence every second of every day; an 'engineering' undertaking in itself of no mean feat. However, an action that is sadly compelled by the conditions that people have to live in on some Continents, as they strive to exist.

It is simple to consider then, that the destruction of the Rainforest will vastly increase carbon dioxide levels, polluting the atmosphere by being less able to contend with the ever increasing fossil fuel burning. The oceans produce, by far, most of our oxygen but increased carbon dioxide will even change this.

At present the Amazon and other forests just barely soak up all the fossil fuel carbons which we produce as it is. Countless Billions of tons of carbon dioxides are stored in a myriad of ways, one of the most significant is the vegetation of the rainforest. But the gradual increase of these greenhouse gases will raise the temperature of the planet. 

[The year 2000 was a warmer year than 1999, which was the record then.]  

As the Earth's climate warms there is a great danger that the Rainforest will get less seasonal rain and actually go through a yet unforeseen dry season. If this happens the absorption process will stop; rainforest  vegetation Photosynthesis, will STOP and leaves will fall and carbon dioxide levels will increase significantly, increasing Global Warming that will again, make the dry season even longer, and then BANG!!!       The balance will tip.

 

Photosynthesis The chemical process by which green plants synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. It occurs in the *chloroplasts (most of which are in the leaves) and there are two principal series of reactions. In the light reactions, which require the presence of light, energy from sunlight is absorbed by *photosynthetic pigments (chiefly the green pigment *chlorophyll) and converted into chemical energy. In the ensuing dark reactions, which can take place either in light or darkness, this chemical energy is used in the production of simple organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. Further chemical reactions convert these compounds into chemicals useful to the plant. Photosynthesis can be summarized by the equation:

              CO2 + 2H2O ? [CH2O] + H2O + O2

Since virtually all other forms of life are directly or indirectly dependent on plants for food, photosynthesis is the basis for all life on earth. Furthermore virtually all the atmospheric oxygen has originated from oxygen released during photosynthesis.

Without Photosynthesis we would not have oxygen to breathe OR proteins to eat. In sunlight green plants use this energy to produce oxygen and proteins through Photosynthesis. 

Every hour of everyday the Sun gives off enough energy that could supply the Earth for a whole year.

Without the world's rainforests the balance may one day be lost.

The USA

Within a year or two of this new millennium, it has been announced that the USA will spend $150,000,000 to impede tropical forests from further destruction by logging. The President Clinton's greening of the globe initiative is a desperate attempt to reverse the threat to jungle trees.

Every month or so we here of new parcels of rainforest being made sanctuaries; is it enough?

THIS IS NOT ENOUGH !! 

Something fundamentally huge must be done NOW !!

Terra-Forming

First, understand that The Sahara is this suitable domain for such a change; an area of several thousand square kilometers and a region that has been hitherto relatively worthless; then conceive of a way to obtain the land and all its rights as a motherland. Whilst initially highly complex, it could actually be done quite efficiently and with reasonable consideration, should the human component reach such a consensus. Anyway, this is hardly any precedent, many lands in the past, such as Hong Kong, have been acquired, for whatever reason, so that they could be governed for better or for worse by an alien power. However, we must look past any imperialism here. And it would therefore seem reasonable that any of the surrounding countries that ‘own’ The Sahara, would be more than willing to ‘sell’ their rights to this seemingly worthless solitude; for an amount, that would take their people and the people of the World, forward into this new era, now!
