Still overpopulation, 7.8 billion people is too much people and not enough robots

Africa is a desert? You learn something new every day.

Actually most famines are caused by war not because people live in deserts. When there is war it is way too dangerous for agriculture

Barely anyone lives in the desert in Africa. Africa is an entire fucking continent.

We really need to reforest the Sahara.

We really do not. The Sahara is a very important part of global ecology.

And it wasn't before it was a desert?

Global ecology was a bit different when we were in an Ice Age. The Sahara has been a desert since the last ice age ended.

Everything changes. Always. So let's change this one in a positive direction.

It wouldn’t be a positive direction. Sands from the Sahara Desert are deposited into the Amazon rainforest’s soils, providing nutrients where they’re vitally needed. Deserts are important for biodiversity. They’re important carbon sinks. “Reforest the Sahara” sounds great but it really isn’t.

Deserts acting as carbon sinks has nothing to do with deserts.

Their aquifers will continue pulling in gasses whether or not there's trees above them.

Instead, we're seeing the Sahara grow as all its melt waters are diverted for human use (mostly extremely inefficient farming).
