i’m sorry but humans were deforesting entire regions, making animals extinct, depleting soil, causing desertification, and otherwise behaving unsustainably well before 1750
I'm not taking the piss out of this quoted tweet because they're objectively correct but also it kinda irks me when people say "figure out how to live sustainably on earth" like our ancestors weren't already doing that before the advent of industrial capitalism
The greatest challenge of our time isn’t to figure out how to get to Mars or become interstellar, but to figure out how to live sustainably on Earth.

"the desertification of the Levant due to overgrazing is a Zionist myth"
Well I'm no expert but uh we have very old records of us complaining about our own overgrazing habits

Don't Reform UK realise that fewer trees mean
more desertification, less food & accelerating climate change
which in turn means more refugees ...
"Because trees are bad."

It's a hopecore game but it also tells the tale of a people's struggle with modernity as their country becomes more and more uninhabitable due to desertification, caused by sudden, unsustainable technological advancement, a very real issue today bound to only get worse.

I feel like the data center climate apocalypse required to run these things in the first is too quickly brushed over when it's not your backyard experiencing desertification because they took all the water.

I was also wondering about climate links. Sounds like there has been prolonged summer droughts and very harsh winters in recent years in Mongolia and the wider region leading to desertification and significant habitat degradation.

When are they planning to stop poisoning all our food & water, put all the safety & environmental regulations & protections back in place, stop depleting the water table to cause desertification & famine, stop ICE & DHS' Marauding, Killing, Raping, & Modern Slave Trade, & put all the protections //-

"The Worst Hard Time" has a pretty good section about this and the people involved in resolving the Dust Bowl era's total desertification of the American southwestern grasslands
Always good to point out the conmen responsible + the scope of the danger if left unchecked

Persistent dry soil below 40cm (~16") is a step toward desertification.
Beginning to experience similar in spot along the coast of Maine. After a couple days of nice, soaking rain, the top 30-40cm have good moisture, but below that is dry dust.

Maybe put them on the margins, areas at risk of desertification. Reduce evaporation and help shade-loving plants grow. Need a way to clean blown dust/sand off the panels.

@LieschenrelleuM It would help reset the amount of dust back to what it was before the recent decade of unnaturally extreme desertification, restoring the old long-term nutrient balance and reducing crises like algae blooms.
