RE: Desertification - And yet another barren land.

in #nature • 7 years ago

Thanks for the post. Enjoyed reading it.
Since deserts like the Sahara used to be green land some tens of thousands of years ago, then it becoming a desert today would not be man-made (or desertification)?
It should be just a natural occurence that takes time to happen. Of course, human activities will only hasten the process.

    Firstly,

    Desertification is a land degradation process in which a fertile land or relatively dry land losses all its water content, vegetation and wildlife hereby becoming arid.

    let's analyse this together, clearing a forest and leaving it empty for nature's reaction, would you term an occurrence of desertification man made or some god who got angry?, I think we should stop viewing nature reaction as that of Zeus, Thor or Pesidion and look at it from how we affect these reactions with respect to changes on earth,only then will we make a better earth.

    I would like to go back in time to see how the desertification of the Sahara began or ask the first man how he met the earth ,but ohh, my time travel machine is not yet ready, but I think nature have its reaction to some minute changes and our actions no matter how little have a part to play in all these.
