Tons of great things happening in China. They're greening deserts at mind boggling scale, building out more clean energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined, and building public infrastructure like it's going out of style.

Thank you for sharing that

But at what cost?

Jokes aside, wouldn't greening the desert have a worse impact on that ecosystem? Like greening the Sahara desert would collapse the major forests on Earth.

The deserts have been expanding for a long time and absorbing arable land. They're not greening the entire desert obviously. They're reclaiming the land and creating a green wall so the desert doesn't spread.

Good to know! I don't like the idea of destroying the natural deserts for greenwashing; they've been here before any human settlements, and an important part of the ecosystem.
