There are simply too many people on this planet. We need an alternative transportation means.

For more information on why deforestation creates drought, see the work of meteorologist Milan Milan. He did research on why afternoon storms stopped coming to the Mediterranean. He tried to share the solution but the profiteers wouldn’t listen. But the rest of us can understand that we simply need to put back trees and wetlands and mangroves. We may need to do a lot of terracing because of all the erosion. All hands are needed to do this work because the plants have to be tended because conditions have become harsh. This isn’t about scaling up, it’s about doing everything on a community scale and from the heart.

Look up candido rondon "into the Amazon" . An incredible life. He observed and reported on the effects of deforestation in the 50s. The government tired to disavow him because what he had to say negatively impacted ranching and business. He lived the vast majority of his life exploring the Amazon and fighting for indigenous rights. Nothing is surprising, we've been working towards this for a long time

I think the same water disappearing on our rivers and lakes is the one causing a lot of damage in form of rainfall

@jenniferspring8741 5 месяцев назад

Yes you are right because without the trees and vegetation to absorb and slowly release the water into the ground, it all just goes up into the atmosphere and dumps down when the atmosphere needs to cleanse itself of carbon. Honestly the answer is just to plant everywhere. But people think that’s too simple an answer, and don’t do it. Honestly, stop mowing, stop ripping out everything, and let the green come back. That is honestly all that is needed.

people keep trying to convince me that humanity has managed such an improvement regarding health, quality of life and so forth. that may be true, but when i show them the state of various ecosystems, they always say tech will fix it everything will be fine. which is the reason everything gets worse every day all over the place and nobody really does anything. all they want to see are their cushy tech jobs, big nasty cars, vacations in dubai.. society deserves to collapse. i´m sick of it all.

Amazon rainforest also rely on sandstorms, the dusts from sandstorms fertilized the amazon. I think there's not enough sandstorms to fertilized the amazon, here in Saudi Arabia, in my area, Al kharj, Riyadh I noticed that there's no sandstorms for almost two years now, maybe there is in other parts of KSA or in some other desert areas, but maybe, it's intensity diminished, and not enough to reach Amazon forest.

@BalboaBaggins I agree 👍 I'm for Cain* However, Mother Earth hosts many predators that eat meat. She doesn't discriminate against meat eating. Natural selection helps with dietary choices in meaningful ways. In this case, the forest is being cut down for oil and some agricultural practices. Which will affect increased CO2 levels more: oil production or soy fields? What about oil production or grazing cows?

SEEDING: The government needs to immediately put funding into seeding the clouds during the rainy season in order to produce up to 15% more rain which can lower the impact due to drought. Seeding doesn’t work when the environment is in the middle of a drought but rather it helps boost the water table (refilling lakes & rivers faster) by creating more rainfall when storm clouds are present. This technique has been used for over 60 years. Currently, there are 7 major countries in the world regularly using it and spending tens of millions of dollars each year to do so in their agricultural sectors. One small state alone in the US spends $14 million a year on this to insure harvest production is supported for the crops that go into the worldwide food chain! Like all things, it has its down side too but in times of emergency, it’s a way of evening out the odds of survival of the masses for the greater good!!
