Interesting video. China develops a new technology that converts sand into fertile soil.

Why? like you don't think the ability to reverse desertification is just about the most important thing we could do right now?

Oddly enough the opposite, turning fertile farmland into desert, is more believable. Unfortunately.

Absolutely, us farmers may not like to see this, but given the grossly unsustainable rates of soil degradation around the world, this should be our number one priority. Not fighting carbon dioxide. But sadly, we pour billions into fighting CO2 and a pittance into actual sustainability issues such as this.

Hydro, my friend grassy. You need water to grow crops and CO2. Remember?

Agreed.

Yup built the three gorges dam. Displace millions of farmers. Now use irrigation on state owned farms. The commie way.
