If tropics see a massive decline in the insect population. What's happening to Chlorophyll/Photosynthesis: the planet's lungs? Let alone plant fertility!

If tropic zone desserts are to be exploited(😢), immediate action is vital⏳🐼 as permafrost methane continues to release 😨.

Reversing Global Warming: II

Hope4ClimateChange

A Road Map for Reversing Global Warming.  

Clawing CO2 out of the atmosphere.  Putting carbon back into the ground. 

CO2 remains in the atmosphere ten times longer than the fallout from Chernobyl. 

Currently, ten times as much CO2 is in the atmosphere than at the time of the 
previous Mass Extinction due to Climate Change.  Thus, in our time, consequences 
may develop ten times more rapidly.

To reverse Global Warming, Carbon Dioxide must be extracted from the 
atmosphere, while putting carbon back into the ground, to, e.g. fertilise the 
worlds desserts etc. 

On a Global scale, a simple biological process is the only practical solution.  

A Sustainable process of Photosynthesis together with vital irrigation and its issues 
of Desalination plus the power to drive it? 

Bushes not Trees, quicker growth for massive leafage and support for biodiversity, 
i.e. the bottom end of the food chain.

Possible candidate: Rhododendrons; varieties with prolific growth, broad 
dark _evergreen_ leaf.  Articles online (Wikipedia) indicate that the Rhodo is
extensively adapted and suitably high-yielding, so therefore suitable for genetic 
engineering. Though present incarnations might be up to the task.  Furthermore, 
Rhodies need good drainage, making them especially suitable for deserts eg. Sahara.  

A soil consisting primarily of sand coupled with an abundance of distilled irrigation 
would be worth investigating as a first shot.

Issues of Desalination and Irrigation and the power driving these? 

Who pays for this?
The societies putting the Carbon into the atmosphere initially might want to think about this.

How is it to be paid for?  
As the cost of energy production falls, the retail price could be maintained,
thus providing a source of revenue for this project.

Thorium fueled Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors (MSR’s) are likely to be some
10 years away: while Fusion Reactors no doubt will eventually join the game,
though perhaps not in the time frame relevant to this project.

Meanwhile, Wind/Solar/Tidal generation will at least set up an infrastructure
with which to distil/irrigate a “carpet for the deserts” with a proliferate evergreen bush.

During this period, pollution will be gaining:  Emissions continue to belch
forth until MSRs etc. come online.  After which emissions reduce to an absolute
minimum.  At which point the Biological processes will leap ahead as MSRs
provide the necessary (clean) energy for massive Desalination and
Irrigation projects.

These power sources are ten odd years down the line, just need to cope until then.

Just how long will it take to capture enough CO2 to reverse Global Warming?  

Chain-saws became reliable and affordable around the 1960’s.
Thus the assault on the planet’s lungs began.
By 1990’s half the planet’s forest was gone. This on top of Carbon emissions.

Carpeting the desserts with proliferative bushes/shrubs would
completely regenerate the planet’s lungs.

Not that this would ‘hoover up’ the CO2, but it undoubtedly would
contribute to the reduction of the effects of these emissions to
maybe the extent of the prior mass deforestation.  Furthermore,
it would do this in pretty much the same timescale.

A problem of tipping the balance the other way and inadvertently bringing
in an Ice Age with consequent lowering of Sea Levels?!?!

Must be cheaper than setting up a Mars colony, or a couple of Carrier Fleets.  

Imaginative, inventive, constructive, out_of_the_box comments are most welcome. 
Never be afraid to fly a kite so as to have it shot down in a ball of flames.  The best 
solutions are arrived at in these "brainstorming" ways.

Four Principles

Reversing climate change: Based on the four principles →
• Planting prolifically growing shrubs, not trees;
• Irrigation by desalinated water from SSR/LFTR reactors; • In the centres of desserts.
• Immediate action while photosynthesis remains fully efficient.
Please share.

Fertile Land Significant for Real-Estate

    The resulting fertile land will have a significant impact on real-estate

markets as sea levels continue to rise.

      Rapidly spreading bushes, rather than slow-growing trees would

proliferate under abundantly provided irrigation.  

     Mix deciduous with evergreen so as to provide nutrient for both, while

ensuring year-round photosynthesis.

    The only remaining problem being to keep up with the rapid spread of

theses virile species, such as Rhododendrons and similar.

    US Navy takes reactor designs to be found in every Nuclear Sub and Carrier.

The Army then builds them at strategic places which enables desalination of

seawater together with piping and pumping of produced distilled water to centres

of great American deserts: Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan and Great Basin Deserts.

    Government becomes lucrative land owner since it’s taxpayers that foot the bill.

   This must be cheaper than a Naval carrier fleet?!?!

      Could Agriculture Bloom in the Desert?

Carpeting the Centre of Deserts with Chlorophyll

Current obsession is with Reversing Climate Change. Haven't seen any online references to "carpeting" the centre of deserts with Chlorophyll on the back of prolifically spreading bushes or shrubs, typically Rhododendrons. That's the easy bit.

The challenge is to both irrigate and keep up with this rapid growth. Military resources come to mind: WWIV - we are saving the planet after all.

Tipping Into a Hostile Planet

In an era of affordable and reliable chainsaws, researchers are telling us that we only
have a couple of decades to reverse Climate Change if we are to avoid “tipping” into a
“hostile” planet of ever increasing weather extremes, with all that goes along with it.
Several tipping factors are described, any one of which could cause others to
tip in a “domino” effect. One of which being Ocean acidification and subsequent
decline of floral plankton, the planet's lungs, the result of CO2 absorption.

The solution offered here would consist of laying a carpet of evergreen bushes, eg,
Rhododendrons, etc. at the very centre of the world's major deserts, letting them
spread prolifically whilst supporting biodiversity - the bottom end of the food change.

The principal problem is irrigation/desalination.  The power needed to purify, pipe
and pump water over these enormous distances could initially come from Renewable Energy
Sources. Later, Thorium Molten Salt Reactors (LFTR) will become available. The costs
would be less than a Mars colony or a couple or few Navy carrier fleets. Particularly
since the US army had already installed a nuclear power plant under the ice sheet in
Greenland in the 1960's - in total secrecy, with a Navy NPP on the Antartic under
an aluminium dome, to a fanfare of publicity.

The bonus of fertile, high-value real-estate at a time of rising sea level would offset
the initial investment.

An Abundance of Desalinated Water.

Any kind of power station generates heat, to produce steam, which drives a turbine.  All that is needed would be to capture exhaust steam, condense it as distilled water.  

For irrigating deserts, simply bypass turbines, condense the steam, and obtain salt-free water by the Mega tone. Clearly, Molten Salt Reactors have a significant role here. Particularly since the US army had already installed an early water-cooled type of nuclear power plant, buried under the ice sheet in Greenland in the 1960's, in total secrecy:  meanwhile the Navy put a similar one on the Antartic ice sheet, covered by an aluminium dome, with much public fanfare.

A system consisting of a cluster of LFTR reactors: some driving pumps,

others generating distilled water, promise to be a practical solution to the

problem of irrigating the centre of deserts.

See: “LFTRs in 5 minutes - Thorium Reactors”.

Investing In Climate Real-Estate: What can we do as individuals?

Identify technologies and companies that are working to

address the problems of restoring the planet's lungs, as the only option

open to us that can affect atmospheric change.  Moreover, share these.

Any land bearing these results will appreciate over and above any

increases due to rising sea levels alone, as the demand for fertile land increases.

Restoring The Planet’s Lungs

Chain-saws became reliable and affordable around the 1960’s.
The assault on the planet’s lungs began.

By 1990’s half the planet’s forest was gone.

This on top of Carbon emissions.

Carpeting the desserts with proliferative bushes/shrubs would
completely regenerate the planet’s lungs.

Not that this would ‘hoover up’ the CO2, but it undoubtedly would
contribute to the reduction of the effects of these emissions to
pretty much the extent of the mass deforestation.  Furthermore,
it would do this in pretty much the same timescale.

In the UK, Rhododendrons grow like weeds, even in forested areas.
A walk around plantations in West Sussex during 1990’s would have
displayed much evidence of this.  Many varieties: deciduous types
would shed nutriment to the sand to feed both themselves and the
evergreens.  Thus: year-round self-generating photosynthesis, and
an ecosystem for the “bottom end of the food chain”.

A problem of irrigation.  Piping and pumping desalinated water
from coast to seeded areas being a massive operation.  Needing to
keep pace with the proliferate growth.  Energy for this could come
initially from sustainable sources, eventually, Molten Salt Reactors
will become available to finalise this project.

With the dessert thus covered, their real-estate value would be much
more than just the increased value due to rising sea levels.
Governments could capitalise on this demand for fertile land, thus
offsetting the initial investment.

The sooner this is implemented, the greater the result.

Reversing Climate Change

Reversing Climate Change

Carbon must be extracted from the atmosphere and put back into the ground.

A roadmap for carpeting the desserts with prolific bushes/shrubs for faster results
than tree planting to produce the desired objective of broadleaf cover, so that
Solar energy drives Photosynthesis, thus decarbonising the atmosphere.

Additionally, a need for more Real Estate to compensate for the reduced land area.
Governments would cash-in on increased land value, over and above that due to
rising levels, to offset the costs of the project.

Prolific species, deciduous and evergreen. This combination giving both year-round
photosynthesis and ongoing soil nutrient.

A possible candidate being Rhododendrons, which grow like weeds in the UK, even
within forested areas. They harbour insects, fungi, birds etc: the bottom end of the food
chain. And do well in good draining soil, which dessert sand would offer.

The principal problem, of course, being irrigation. The enormous energy needed to
desalinate, pipe and pump water from coasts to seeded sites in dessert centres. A need
for military resources: WWIV.

Renewable energies are getting better all the time. In the next decade, Thorium Molten
Salt and Fusion Reactors could accelerate the project to its practical completion.
